Buying Supplies

Preparing the Fruit
Once you get home with your fresh produce, make sure to rinse it well. Then, take your big, beautiful strawberries and cut them into bite-sized slices. Put your blueberries in one bowl, strawberries in another, and a spoon in each.

Layer Your Parfait
Start with by placing a few blueberries in the bottom of your glass. Next, add a dollop of your yogurt or whipped cream. Add a layer of strawberries and another dollop of your yogurt or whipped cream. Continue alternating until you get to the top of the glass. When you do, ad one large strawberry cut in half and a couple blueberries. Just store your layered desserts in the fridge until it is time to serve them up.
