Berry Strawberry Parfait

Ingredients

• 1 package (10 ounces) frozen raspberries or strawberries in syrup, thawed
• 1/4 cup sugar
• 2 tablespoons cornstarch
• 2 cups sliced strawberries, 1 pint
• 2 teaspoons lemon juice
• 1 quart vanilla ice cream
• fresh sliced strawberries and whipped cream

Preparation

Drain frozen raspberries or strawberries, reserving syrup.

Add enough water to the syrup to make 1 cup liquid. In a small saucepan, combine sugar and cornstarch; stir in the reserved berry liquid. Add sliced fresh strawberries to mixture.

Cook and stir over medium high heat until mixture thickens and boils.

Remove from heat; stir in the thawed raspberries (or strawberries) and the lemon juice.

Chill thoroughly. In parfait glasses, layer ice cream, berry sauce, sour cream, then more sauce.

Repeat layers. Top with a scoop of ice cream and garnish with a small dollop of whipped cream and sliced fresh strawberries, as desired.
