Danish Dessert Sauce by Cindy

Fruit – in a Danish dessert Sauce.

This dessert sauce fits the bill for many fruits. Whether it’s strawberry season, blueberry season, blackberry season, peach or pear season, this Danish sauce will be a hit. 

No matter what the fruit or the season, you’ll have folks asking for more. This sauce works well with fruits in season and also with frozen fruit. So, it’s good for winter months as well as summer months.

This recipe uses less sugar and is still just as tasty as it can be. My friend Cindy made this for us while visiting in our home. Dave picked up several buckets of freshly-picked strawberries because he loves all-things-strawberry-shortcake. After that, it was time to make something else with the strawberries. Cindy offered to make her strawberry pie – and she did. 

Cindy uses this recipe for any fresh fruit topping or pie. I’m excited about having a new recipe to use!

You can use a graham cracker crust, a store-bought pie crust, or make your own homemade pie crust. Fill it with a delicious fruit filling, add a dollop of whipped cream on top, and you’re all set.

Benefits of fruit

Fruit is such a healthy addition to any menu. Loaded with antioxidants, vitamins and minerals, fruit is a healthy snack. It also is rich in Vitamin C and fiber. Be sure to keep fresh fruit in your kitchen so your family will reach for fruit instead of salties, pastries, and snacks.

The Flavor of Jello for Dessert Sauce 

Choose a jello that matches the fruit you are using. For strawberry pie, you can use strawberry or raspberry jello. For blueberry pie or blackberry pie, use a lemon jello. If you’re using peaches, use peach jello.
