Strawberry Sauce
(Better Homes and Gardens)
3 cups fresh or frozen strawberries (or raspberries)
1/3 cup sugar
1 teaspoon cornstarch
Thaw berries, if frozen. Do not drain. Place half of the berries in a blender container or food processor bowl. Cover and blend or process until berries are smooth. Repeat with remaining berries. (You should have about ½ cup puree from each 1½ cups berries.)
In a medium saucepan stir together sugar and cornstarch. Add berries. Cook and stir over medium heat until thickened and bubbly. Cook and stir for 2 minutes more. Remove from heat. Cool to room temperature before serving. Makes about 1 cup sauce.
Serves well with the Coeur À La Crème Hearts
Raspberry Sauce: Prepare as above, except substitute raspberries for the strawberries and press berries through a fine-mesh sieve; discard seeds.

Anything Gravy
(Oma J.)
Olive oil or butter
1 medium onion
Mushrooms
Water
3 Tablespoons flour
Beef or chicken bouillon
Sour cream
In olive oil or butter sauté onion until tender about 15-20 minutes. You may also add mushrooms with/onions and sauté.
Take ¼ cup cold water in a mug and add 3 Tablespoons flour and smooth with fork until very smooth no lumps. Set Aside.
Remove onions from pan. Measure 2 cups hot water and add 2 or 3 teaspoons of beef or chicken bouillon until dissolved. Add the bouillon mix to the pan that the onions were in and slowly with a whisk stir in the flour mixture until it is smooth and thickens. It has to come to a boil before it will thicken. (If any lumps use a strainer and return to pan).
When it is as thick as you want it return the onions and or mushrooms to pan and simmer. Before serving add ¼ to ½ cup sour cream and blend with whisk slowly. Do not boil again.
