    MAKES: 4 servings

    You can make the berry sauce ahead of time and chill. Then assemble the entire dessert a couple of hours before the picnic or party. —Frieda Bliesner, McAllen, Texas

    Ingredients:
    2 tablespoons sugar
    1/2 teaspoon cornstarch
    2 tablespoons water
    2 cups sliced fresh strawberries, divided
    1/2 teaspoon grated lime peel
    2 individual round sponge cakes
    2 cups fresh blueberries
    Whipped topping, optional

    Directions:
    In a small saucepan, mix sugar and cornstarch. Stir in water. Add 1 cup strawberries; mash mixture. Bring to a boil; cook and stir 1-2 minutes or until thickened. Remove from heat; stir in lime peel. Transfer to a small bowl; refrigerate, covered, until chilled.

    Cut sponge cakes crosswise in half; trim each to fit in bottoms of four wide-mouth half-pint canning jars. In a small bowl, mix blueberries and remaining strawberries; spoon over cakes. Top with sauce. If desired, serve with whipped topping.
