I just received this recipe in my Taste of Home newsletter. I haven't had a chance to make it yet, but I'm looking forward to trying it out. Time does not include chill time.

Time 20m

Yield 8-10 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 8

1/2 cup sugar
2 tablespoons cornstarch
1/4 teaspoon salt
1 1/2 cups milk
4 eggs, beaten
1/2 cup sour cream
1 1/2 teaspoons vanilla extract
8 cups assorted fresh berries

Steps:

  • Beat eggs in a small bowl, set aside. In a saucepan, combine sugar, cornstarch and salt. Gradually stir in milk until smooth. Bring to a boil over medium heat, stirring constantly. Stir a small amount into eggs; return all to pan, stirring constantly. Cook and stir for 2 1/2 minutes or until mixture reaches 160 degrees.
  • Remove from the heat; stir in sour cream and vanilla. Set saucepan in ice and stir mixture for 5 minutes. Cover and refrigerate until serving.
  • Serve over berries -- strawberries, blueberries, raspberries (whatever mix of berries you prefer).
  • Yield: About 2 cups of sauce. Recipe did not state how much berries to use, so I but an estimated amount in the recipe.
  • I think it would be really good with angel food cake or shortcake.
