Lightly glazed blueberries look so pretty nestled on a delicate nest of golden phyllo. âI always make this special dessert during blueberry season,â shares Ann Smith from East Liverpool, Ohio. Ingredients:
1/4 cup sugar |
4 teaspoons cornstarch |
1/4 cup water |
1 teaspoon lemon juice |
1-1/2 cups fresh or frozen blueberries |
2 teaspoons butter |
bird's nest: |
8 sheets phyllo dough (14 inches x 9 inches) |
2 tablespoons butter, melted |
2 tablespoons sugar |
dash ground nutmeg |
Directions:
1. In a small saucepan, combine sugar and cornstarch. Stir in water and lemon juice until smooth. Stir in blueberries. Bring to a boil; cook and stir for 1-2 minutes or until thickened. Remove from the heat; stir in butter. Cool.
2. Roll up phyllo dough sheets and cut into 1/2-in.-wide strips. Place in a large bowl; toss with butter. Combine sugar and nutmeg; sprinkle over dough and toss to coat. Arrange strips in a 7-in. pie plate coated with cooking spray. Bake at 400° for 9-12 minutes or until golden. Cool on a wire rack.
3. Spoon blueberry filling into nest. Refrigerate for at least 1 hour before serving. Yield: 3 servings.
