| Farmer’s Market Berries with Limoncello Mascarpone Cream |
| The lemon-scented cream is wonderful on fresh farmer’s market berries but would also be amazing on lemon pound cake or blueberry pie. Let the mind soar!
Limoncello can be found at most supermarkets and at liquor stores while mascarpone can be found in specialty stores and even in some urban common markets these days. Mascarpone is the Italian version of the triple cream cheese known in France as St. André.
