    TOTAL TIME: Prep: 20 min. + chilling


    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:
    1. 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.

    2. 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.
