125 gm blueberries (about 1 punnet)

60 gm brown sugar, or to taste

1.Place berries and half the sugar in a bowl, stir occasionally until sugar dissolves, then set aside to macerate (20-30 minutes).

2.Whisk cream until medium peaks form. Serve with berries sprinkled with remaining brown sugar to taste.
