Number Of Ingredients 17

3/4 cup sugar
4 teaspoons cornstarch
1 1/2 cups water
4 to 6 drops red food color, if desired
4 cups sliced strawberries
1 1/3 cups raspberries
1 1/3 cups blueberries
2 cups Gold Medal™ all-purpose flour
1/2 cup sugar
3 teaspoons baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup butter or margarine
3/4 cup milk
1 teaspoon almond extract
2 eggs, slightly beaten
1 tablespoon sugar
1/2 cup sliced almonds

Steps:

  • In 2-quart saucepan, mix 3/4 cup sugar and the cornstarch. Stir in water and food color. Cook over medium heat, stirring constantly, until mixture thickens and boils. Boil and stir 1 minute. Remove from heat; cool 10 minutes. Stir in berries. Cover and refrigerate until serving.
  • Heat oven to 450°F. Grease bottom and sides of rectangular pan, 13x9x2 inches, with shortening. In medium bowl, mix flour, 1/2 cup sugar, the baking powder and salt. Cut in butter, using pastry blender or crisscrossing 2 knives, until mixture looks like fine crumbs. Stir in milk, almond extract and eggs just until blended. Spread in pan. Sprinkle with 1 tablespoon sugar and the almonds.
