Berry sauce

I love this on vanilla yogurt with a sprinkle of granola for breakfast or a snack. Also great on french toast, waffles and ice cream. So good!


2 cups frozen berries (Costco mixed are good)
or 1 pint fresh strawberries
3 T sugar
1 T cornstarch
1/4 C water
1 T lemon juice

Mash berries; set aside. In a saucepan, combine the sugar, cornstarch and water until smooth. Bring to a boil; cook and stir for 2 minutes or until thickened. Stir in berries; remove from the heat. Stir in lemon jiuce. Transfer to a small bowl. Cover and refrigerate until chilled

Magic Syrup

This is so good and easy, you won't believe it!

Magic Syrup

1 C. sugar

1 stick of butter (1/2 C.)

½ C. buttermilk

(Sometimes I substitute ½ C. skim milk with the juice from ½ a fresh lemon. You could use bottled lemon juice as well. You need the acid in the recipe to activate the baking soda.)

Melt and cook sugar, butter and buttermilk. Bring to hard boil. Remove from heat and add:

1 tsp. vanilla

1 tsp. baking soda (This makes the syrup frothy.)

Cinnamon Cream Syrup

1 C sugar
½ C light corn syrup
¼ C water

5 oz evaporated milk
1 tsp vanilla extract
½ tsp ground cinnamon

Combine sugar, corn syrup, and water in saucepan. Bring to boil on med heat; cook and stir for 2 min or till thickened. Remove from heat. Add milk, vanilla, and cinnamon. I use a whisk to get the cinnamon mixed in well.
