A great recipe to utilize the abundance of fresh summer fruit! This delicious fresh berry strata is like a breakfast bread pudding. Honey, butter, ricotta cheese, a hint of orange from the zest and juice of orange makes this a crowd pleaser…. and so easy! We serve it real maple syrup and our house-made apricot syrup. Beautiful when you present to your family or guests at the breakfast table!
