Author Notes: In the summer, when my grandchildren are on vacation, and there is such an abundance of fruit and berries, I try deferent ways to push-in as much in them as I can. Instead of just putting a plate with fruit in front of them, and reminding every minute to eat at list some, I make fresh fruit and berries salads or this kind of Gazpacho.
I find that it is also a great dessert for hot summer weather.
The Gazpacho can be made in advance and in many variations, such as melons, grapes, cherries, blackberries or what ever is in season and toped with ice cream or sour cream.
Here is one I made today.

We had a dinner party last night and made the gazpacho for dessert (with sour cream and ginger ice cream). Since there were no kids around, added some Cointreau and Chambord. It was fabulous! Thank you for the inspiration :)
