Those frozen berries were a common dessert component in our house when I
was a kid. My mother liked to make meringues would thaw a pack of
berries , put a scoop of ice cream on them and spoon some of the thawed
berries and juice over them. Sometimes she would make a sort of sweet
biscuit and top them with ice cream or whipped cream and berries....
strawberry or raspberry short cake.
