Hey all...well for my first post, I'd like to just pass along a very simple recipe for a delicious fruit-sauce topping for light vanilla ice cream or froze yogurt. It's actually called "compote" which dad likes to call "compost" which of course brings lots of laughter to the dessert table. Here it is:
(all amounts are approximate and very flexible)
1 carton fresh strawberries cut up
1 pint fresh blueberries
1 bag frozen raspberries (no sugar added, just fresh-frozen whole fruit)
Lay the frozen raspberries out on a cookie sheet and allow to thaw for about 30 minutes. In the meantime, cut up the strawberries into hawaiian-haystacks-tomato-sized pieces. Rinse the blueberries and chuck them right into the bowl with the strawberries. By now the raspberries should be soggy. Spoon them into the mixture and use the spatula to scrape all the juice in. Use a big fat spoon to mix it all together, then cover with plastic wrap and let it sit awhile. This will allow the raspberries to thaw fully and the juices will blend together. Now you have an awesome, all-natural, no sugar added, tart and tasty topping. As long as you are smart about what you put it on, this can be a low-guilt dessert!
Try these bases:
Light vanilla ice cream
Vanilla frozen yogurt
Light angel food cake squares
Plain yogurt (this may be a bit tart since there is not a ton of sweetness in the berries)
Chocolate cake squares
Enjoy and if you think of variations, please post!

This recipe, by the way, was massively popular! Rachel stirred it several times gently over a half hour period and truly, with the light sweetness it goes on, it tasted perfect. Thanks, Rach, for another wonderful culinary adventure.
Yeah, that stuff is ultra yummy! Thanks Rache
