- Divide the almond mixture between 6 glasses or bowls, about 2 1/2 T in each, and press down slightly.
- Top almond mixture with about 1 T berries in each glass or bowl.

- Divide the remaining berries between the glasses or bowls, about 1 T in each, and divide any juice that may have collected between the glasses or bowls.

- Refrigerate until ready to serve. Can be made the night before and kept chilled until serving.
