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

Directions

In a saucepan, heat milk over medium heat until bubbles form around sides of pans. Combine egg and sugar in a bowl; stir in a small amount of hot milk. Return all to saucepan. Cook over low heat, stirring constantly, until mixture coats a spoon, about 15 minutes. Remove from heat; stir in salt and vanilla. Chill at least 1 hour. Serve over berries.

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!
