INGREDIENTS
2 cups mixed berries
Juice and zest of 1 lemon
½ cup sugar
1 tub vanilla ice cream
Handful mint

METHOD
1. Heat your potjie (or a braaiproof pot) over medium coals. Add the berries, lemon juice and zest, and sugar.
2. Simmer for 8–10 minutes, until the berries are soft and the syrup is sticky.
