Berries are getting ripe!

[ICNDonna]

Yesterday I found enough loganberries to serve them for dessert last night. I tried an experiment and it turned out to be something I'll be trying with all kinds of berries.

Here's the recipe:

2 cups berries
1/2 cup Splenda (more if it's not sweet enough)
Pinch of cinnamon
Stir until very juicy (if using blueberries, smash some to make juicy)
Add one envelope plain gelatin to 1/2 cup water, stir, and microwave for about 30 - 45 seconds
Add the gelatin mixture to fruit and stir well
Refrigerate until set

Add 1 1/2 cups Cool Whip and use a fork to stir into the mixture.

My family all loved it --- I can't wait to try it with blueberries and wild blackberries.

I also plan to try loganberries again, but will pulverize them in the blender and remove the seeds.

Donna,

I have never in my life heard of a loganberry! What does it taste like?

[ICNDonna]

A loganberry looks something like a huge blackberry, except that it is much larger and they have a dark wine color --- almost, but not quite black. They are the first berry that gets ripe on our property and I do like them.

And I'd be delighted to share the recipe in the ICN cookbook!

I found a few ripe blueberries yesterday so plan to try making this one with blueberries soon.

I do love summer!

Hugs,
Donna
