Heeman's Famous Sundae Sauce
Written by Florence Heeman
This is truly one of our most requested and enjoyed recipes. It is a simple “year round” favourite for our family and we are sure it will be for yours.
Yields: 11 cups
Ingredients:
- 10 cups/2L finely chopped or crushed strawberries or raspberries (do not purée) granulated sugar
- 1 1/2 cups/375mL granulated sugar
- 1 pkg. Garden Fare Freezer Jam Gelling Powder (available at Heeman’s)
Directions:
- Stir sugar into fruit in a large bowl, let stand 15 minutes
- Sprinkle Gelling Powder into fruit mixture slowly while stirring let stand 5 minutes.
- Stir again for 1 minute; pour into sterilized containers with tight seals and freeze. (Reusable plastic tubs work well - leave 1” of space to expand when frozen)
- Will store for up to 1 year in the freezer or 2 weeks in the refrigerator.
- A great way to freeze your berries when you are tight on space; one that can be pulled out quickly and easily for many uses. Remember to freeze in portions suitable for a variety of purposes.
- Great in milkshakes, as waffle, crepe or pancake topping, for banana splits and daiquiri’s, parfaits, great filling for fruit tarts, a great change from cherry sauce in your black forest cake and much more. Just use your imagination.
