Easy as Pie – for the 4th of July!

It’s the 4^th of July and in the South it’s HOT!  I didn’t even want to turn on the small toaster oven and bake ... so to the Internet I went …. discovering (and then changing) this delightful recipe I found on the Betty Crocker website.

INGREDIENTS:

1 Cup              Water

¾ Cup             Granulated Sugar

2 ½ Tble.         Corn Starch

1 Package        Raspberry-flavored Sugar-Free Gelatin

3 Cups             Wild Blackberries (use whatever you have – if frozen, defrost)

1                      pre-made Graham Cracker Crust

Whipped Cream or Ice Cream for topping (always optional ...)

DIRECTIONS: 

       

-  Mix together the water, sugar and cornstarch in a large saucepan. 

-  Heat just to boiling over medium heat, stirring constantly.

-  Boil and stir for 1 minute.

-  Stir in the gelatin until totally dissolved.

-  Cool slightly and stir in the berries (including the juice) gently so that the gelatin/cornstarch mixture coats all the berries, but the berries are not smashed.

-  Refrigerate until set

-  Serve with your favorite topping (ice cream, in my family)

ENJOY!!

Here is my flower for the day ..... Thank you RedGage!
