Food - Mixed Berry Salad

Yesterday I made some wicked tasty mixed berry fruit salad. Here's the "recipe":

- Half a container of strawberries, quartered
- Half a pint of raspberries
- Pint of black raspberries
- About a cup of blueberries
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar
- Dash of cinnamon
- 2-4 drops of vanilla

Combine everything in some sort of container. Refrigerate for maybe an hour or three, mixing it every so often to encourage the juices to mingle. Eat. Enjoy.

This is basically a recipe I found on the interwebs. The cinnamon and vanilla really give it a slightly different taste and cut the sweetness of the sugar a little. I picked the blueberries myself on Thursday, and left them unrefrigerated to let them ripen a bit more. The black raspberries were from last week's farmer's market that I had frozen. Fresh would work just as well, of course.

I also tried my hand at photographing this concoction today. Not sure if I like the pictures yet though - you be the judge.

These were all with my macro lens. I'm not sure if it was really the correct choice in this case. Oh well. It still tasted great!
