Steps:

• Measure the cassis into the base of a large serving bowl and stir in the strawberries. Pile the raspberries and blueberries on top and scatter over the sugar, but don't mix yet.
• Cover the bowl with cling film. Just before serving gently toss the berries and serve with a big jug of cream.

Steps:

• Make the sauce. Pour the cream into a small saucepan and break in the chocolate. Heat gently, stirring, until the chocolate melts into a smooth sauce. Take care not to overheat or the chocolate will seize into a hard lump. Remove from the heat and stir in the rum, if using.
• Scatter the frozen berries on 4 dessert plates or in shallow bowls. Pour the hot chocolate sauce over the fruits and serve immediately, as the fruits start to defrost.

Steps:

• Combine sugar with water in a saucepan over medium-high heat, stirring until the sugar has dissolved and the mixture comes to a boil. Reduce heat to low and simmer for 5 minutes; remove from heat and let stand 5 more minutes.
• Stir pear liqueur into the syrup and refrigerate for 1 hour.
• Gently combine strawberries, blueberries, and blackberries in a large bowl and pour syrup over the berries to coat. Allow berries to stand for about 3 hours to absorb flavors. Mixture can stand up to 3 days if desired.

Steps:

• Home Preparation: In a blender, puree 10 ounces fresh or frozen mixed berries with as little water as necessary to liquefy. In a food dehydrator, dehydrate puree until crispy. (Or buy predried berries). Combine dried berries, chocolate chips, sugar, cocoa, cornstarch and cayenne in an airtight bag or container.
• Campsite Preparation: Boil 1 1/2 to 2 1/2 cups water (use 2 1/2 cups water if you will be reconstiting dried fruit for dipping, otherwise use 1 1/2 cups). Remove 1 cup water from pot. Add dry berry-cocoa mixture to remaining 1 1/2 cups water. Stir. Cover. Let stand 5 minutes off heat. Meanwhile, if using dried fruit for dipping, pour 1 cup reserved water over dried fruit and 1/4 cup sugar in a bowl. Cover. Let stand until fruit is reconstituted.
• Bring berry mixture to a boil, then reduce heat to lowest possible setting. Simmer for 5 to 10 minutes. Remove pot from heat, carefully pour in rum. Return to heat, tilting pot into flame to ignite fondue. Stir. Serve in individual cups or from the communal pot with your choice of dippers.

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 475 degrees. Set angel food cake slices on a baking sheet and toast in oven to make less spongy. Rinse and hull the strawberries and cut them in half (or rinse and dry the raspberries.)

Strain into a medium bowl. Add the berries and stir to combine. Cover and refrigerate until chilled, 2 hours.
• To serve, spoon some of the berries and mulled wine into a coupe glass. Top with a scoop of frozen yogurt and garnish with some freshly grated cinnamon.

Steps:

• Pile the berries into pretty glasses or onto plates and freeze for 20 mins - press the fast-freeze button if you have one. The berries should become iced but not frozen solid.
• When ready, place the chocolate in a non-metallic bowl with the cream and microwave on High for 1 min. Check to see if it is soft enough to stir into a sauce, if not give it 30 secs, then stir again. Leave to cool slightly, stirring occasionally. To serve, pour the chocolate sauce over the iced berries.
