I was looking through my Russian recipes and came across a recipe for strawberries Romanoff, which inspired this Berries Romanoff Style recipe. The original recipe calls for just strawberries and alcohol to soak them in, but I substituted lemon juice for alcohol. That way the whole family can enjoy it. I also added blueberries because it’s berry season right now, and I wanted to include more then just strawberries. The end result was amazing. These Berries Romanoff are perfect for a hot day, and they look elegant. It’s one of those desserts you’ll just never want to end.
