Preparation

Step 1
In a large bowl, combine the strawberries, raspberries and 1¼ cups sugar. Toss well.
Step 2
Heat water in a pot or in the bottom of a double boiler (about 2 inches). Place the fruit bowl over the simmering water, cover and cook for an hour.
Step 3
Strain the berries through a fine sieve into a bowl until all the juice is removed. Set aside the juice. Reserve the cooked berries.
Step 4
Combine all sorbet ingredients in a bowl, and blend well. Place in a shallow tray. Freeze for two hours.
Step 5
Place butter and ¼ cup sugar in a large pan with pear, apple and rhubarb pieces in one layer. Over medium-high heat, cook all fruit until tender, about 5 minutes. Add grapes.
Step 6
Add reserved berry juice and lemon juice. Cover, and reduce the juice by half.
Step 7
Place some of the cooked fruit mixture on a plate next to a scoop of the frozen sorbet. Spoon juice from pan, and pour over everything.
