What's macerating? Just a fancy word for tossing fruit with sugar or honey and letting it sit. The sweetener draws out the fruit's juices, creating a natural syrup.
Angel food cake, pound cake, sponge cake, scones, biscuits, shortbread cookies, wafers, cornbread, and so on can be used here.
Break or crush up whatever you're using for the best texture in every bite!
