Yields: 2 ½ cups berry sauce
Prep time: 10 minutes
Cook time: 10 minutes
Ingredients:
• 2 cups fresh blueberries
• 2 cups fresh strawberries, cored and quartered
• 2 tablespoons sugar
• 1 teaspoon lemon juice
• ⅛ teaspoon salt
• ⅛ teaspoon cinnamon
• 2 tablespoons water
• 1 teaspoon lemon juice
• ½ teaspoon cornstarch
• 1 cup biscotti or any hard cookie, crushed
• 2 pints vanilla ice cream
Method:
- In a saucepan combine the berries, sugar, salt and cinnamon with 2 tablespoons of water. Bring the mixture to a boil over medium heat. Reduce heat and simmer, uncovered, until mixture thickens and berries have begun to burst, about 3-5 minutes.
- Combine cornstarch with 1 teaspoon lemon juice until smooth and stir into berry mixture. Simmer until thickened, about 1 – 2 more minutes. Remove from the heat.
- Divide ⅓ of the crushed cookies in the bottom of four glasses. Place a scoop of ice cream in each glass and top with some warm fruit sauce. Sprinkle another ⅓ of crushed cookies into glasses. Top each glass with a scoop of vanilla ice cream, remaining fruit sauce and remaining ⅓ of crushed cookies. Serve immediately.
Tip: To easily crush the cookies, place them in a large resealable plastic bag, seal well, and then roll a rolling pin over the bag.
