This is a great budget side dish or dessert to make with those last little bits of summer berries. Use whatever types of berries are on sale, or scrounge up the ones still sitting in your fridge that need to be used soon. The whole family will enjoy it. To use as a dessert, top each bowl of berries with a dollop of whipped cream and a mint leaf.
Ingredients:
- 4 C mixed fresh berries
- 4 egg yolks
- 1 Tbsp. lemon extract
- 1/4 C caster sugar
Directions:
Preheat the oven broiler. Place the berries into four oven-proof custard cups. In a mixing bowl, whisk together the egg yolks, lemon extract, and sugar. Place the mixing bowl over a pan of hot water and whisk until thick and pale in color. Pour the sauce equally over the 4 bowls of fruit. Place the cups into the broiler for 1 minute or until the top begins to lightly brown. Makes 4 servings.
