Black And Blue Berries In Ginger Syrup

• 2 cups water
• 2 1/2 cups blackberries, divided
• 1/3 cup turbinado or granulated sugar
• 2 (1-inch) pieces peeled fresh ginger, thinly sliced
• 2 (3-inch) strips lime zest
• 2 tablespoons fresh lime juice
• 2 cups blueberries
• 2 cups lemon sorbet (optional)

1. Bring 2 cups water, 1/2 cup blackberries, sugar, ginger, and lime zest to a boil over medium-high heat in a saucepan, stirring just until sugar is dissolved. Boil for 5 minutes. Remove saucepan from heat, and let stand, covered, for 5 minutes. Pour mixture through a fine strainer set over a bowl; don't press on solids. Reserve the syrup, discarding the blackberries. Then stir in the lime juice.
2. Add the remaining 2 cups blackberries and blueberries to the syrup. Serve over 1/2 cup lemon sorbet, if desired.
