Top with fresh berries, or berry topping. Enjoy.



Blue Berry Topping

Near the end of summer, fresh blue berries are plentiful and delicious. They are also a superfood, with many health benefits. You can also use them in many different desserts or jams.

Following is basic recipe that I use for a topping on cheesecake, fresh baked bread, crumble, french toast or just by itself with a spoon! Use your imagination and enjoy the result. This recipe is very quick and easy and tastes wonderful.

- 2 cups fresh or frozen blue berries
- 2 Tablespoons water
- 1/2 cup (or less) splenda

Bring to a boil and simmer for 2 minutes. Then combine:

- 1 Tablespoon water
- 1 Tablespoon cornstarch
- 1 Tablespoon lemon juice

Add to the hot blue berry mixture until thick (about 30 seconds) and remove from heat. If you want it thicker, just add more cornstarch and water.
