4 tablespoons butter
2 cups fresh berries, such as strawberries and raspberries
3 tablespoons granulated sugar
1 tablespoon orange liqueur, optional

Method

Butter each slice of bread on both sides and fry on a griddle over low heat until golden brown.

Toss together the berries, granulated sugar, lemon juice and orange liqueur, if using. Let stand for 10–15 minutes.
