Fruit for Shortcake (or just good eating!)

So I was going to do strawberry shortcake, since strawberries are in season right now in dear old Florida. However, that did not work out, since it seems that almost everyone was avoiding working at the roadside stands due to this cold snap we're having right now. One box of mediocre (read: not shortcake material) strawberries was all I could obtain. So I raided the freezer for frozen fruit, and this is what I got.

Ingredients:
2 c. frozen blueberries
1 pound frozen peach slices
1/2 c. frozen cranberries
2 pints fresh strawberries, sliced
1/3 c. sugar

Directions:
Place frozen fruit and sugar in a large pot over medium heat. Heat, stirring occasionally, until warmed through and sauce is slightly syrupy. Add in strawberries, and continue to cook until softened. Let cool. Serve over shortcake, pancakes, biscuits, oatmeal, yogurt...
