Make berry sauce:

Heat water and sugar in a small saucepan over medium high heat, stirring occasionaly, until sugar is dissolved. Dice 1 cup of strawberries; add to mixture. Bring heat down to medium low; stir occasionally for 2-3 minutes. Remove from heat and let partially cool.

(This sauce can be made with blueberries, peaches, raspberries, blackberries, or other fruits that might be in season.)

Scoop 1-2 scoops of ice cream into each bowl. (If you have a tall glass or parfait dish, use it as the red and white colors make quite a nice presentation.)

Top with strawberry sauce and remaining fresh strawberries. Garnish with mint leaves; serve immediately, since the sauce is probably still warm. 15 mins start to finish.
