You make the shortcake and the homemade filling is simple. Use any fruit that you like.

Blue Ribbon Recipe

We adored the berry mixture in these three berry shortcakes. The combination of strawberries, blueberries, and raspberries gives this dessert a nice summery feel. This is a great shortcake recipe that's fluffy and slightly sweet once baked. Sprinkling sugar on top makes a crunchy top. The whipped cream is rich and creamy with a little touch of tang from added cream cheese. When the fresh fruit is combined with the whipped cream and shortcake, this dessert has a patriotic feel so it's great for a Memorial Day, Fourth of July, or Labor Day cookout. Put all the elements out and guests can assemble their dessert.
