This is a refreshing treat highlighting the fresh berries of summer. The custard is not overly sweet to over-shadow the berries.—Leona Luecking, West Burlington, Iowa

Ingredients

1 cup milk
1 egg, lightly beaten
2 tablespoons sugar
Pinch salt
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
3 cups fresh blueberries, raspberries and strawberries

This is always a big hit with everyone, especially in the summer! I made it for my friend that doesn't eat sugar - she loved it. Very easy. Definitely adding this to my recipe box!
