Broiled Sour Cream Berries

This sounds a bit strange but it's really yummy! Tyler was by yesterday and tried it and quite enjoyed it. They're best eaten the day after you make them, as they don't hold up too well after that (well, they don't look nice but they taste fine). As they sit in the fridge all night a nice juice will soak the fruit and help to blend the flavors.



Broiled Sour Cream Berries

3 C fresh blackberries or a combination of blueberries and sliced strawberries
1 C sour cream
1 tsp vanilla
1 C packed brown sugar

Preheat broiler. Divide berries evenly among 6 small ramekins or custard cups. In a small bowl, mix sour cream and vanilla; spoon over berries. Sprinkle liberally with brown sugar. Broil for 1 minute, or until sugar caramelizes (watch very carefully). Cover and refrigerate several hours or overnight.

  1. Ok here's a question... does the sour cream flavor really come through? I wouldn't mind;) but Jeremy hates sour cream so is it one of those dishes were you can't really tell, or does it still taste like sour cream?

  2. Oh no you can't tell at all. It's more like a custard similar to Sweet Cream.
