In a large saucepan, bring water, butter, sugar and salt to a boil. Add flour all at once and stir until a smooth ball forms. Remove from the heat; let stand for 5 minutes. Add eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition. Continue beating until mixture is smooth and shiny. Drop by 12 rounded tablespoonfuls 3 inches apart onto a greased baking sheet. Bake at 400 degrees for 30 to 35 minutes or until golden brown. Transfer to wire rack. Immediately cut a slit in each puff to allow steam to escape; cool. Split puffs and set tops aside; remove soft dough from inside with a fork. Cool puffs. For filling, combine berries and 1/4 cup sugar; chill for 30 minutes. Beat cream and remaining sugar until stiff. Fold in berries. Fill cream puffs and replace tops. Dust with confectioners' sugar; garnish with additional berries and mint. Serve immediately.
