Berries with Custard Sauce
Although it's simple to make, this dessert is the No. 1 favorite at my house. And when I serve it to guests, I'm always asked for the recipe. You can use strawberries, raspberries, blueberries, blackberries—whatever's in season.—Sally Kendrick, Bishop, California16 ServingsPrep: 15 min. + chilling
