During these fleeting summer months, we take every opportunity to dine al fresco. Although I love soup, a steaming bowl doesn’t appeal on a sunny day in July. Cold fruit soup though? Divine. Also easy to make and store in the fridge, ready when you are. Serve it in small bowls, to eat with a spoon, or in glasses to sip. To fancy it up, swirl in a spoonful of crème fraiche, sour cream or good-quality thick plain yogurt.

Directions:
- In a saucepan, bring the orange juice, wine or grape juice, honey and 1 cup water to a boil. Reduce heat and simmer for a minute. Add the berries and cook for another minute. Remove from heat and let cool completely.
