1/2 cup fresh or thawed frozen raspberries |
1/2 cup fresh or thawed frozen blueberries |
1/2 cup fresh or thawed frozen blackberries |
2 tablespoons water |
2 1/2 teaspoons granulated sugar |
1 cup fresh raspberries |
1 cup fresh blueberries |
1 cup fresh blackberries |
2 tablespoons dark brown sugar |
1/4 teaspoon orange-flower water (optional) |
1/8 teaspoon grated orange rind |
3/4 cup all-purpose flour |
3/4 cup yellow cornmeal |
1/3 cup granulated sugar |
2 teaspoons baking powder |
1/2 teaspoon salt |
3/4 cup 2% reduced-fat milk |
2 tablespoons butter, melted |
1 tablespoon vegetable oil |
1 large egg |
cooking spray |
1/2 cup frozen fat-free whipped topping, thawed |
Directions:
1. To prepare sauce, combine the first 5 ingredients in a food processor; process until smooth. Strain berry mixture through a fine sieve over a bowl, reserving liquid; discard solids. Cover and chill.
2. To prepare topping, combine 1 cup each raspberries, blueberries, and blackberries in a large bowl. Add brown sugar, orange-flower water (if desired), and orange rind; toss gently to combine. Cover and chill.
3. Preheat oven to 425°.
4. To prepare corn bread, lightly spoon the flour and cornmeal into dry measuring cups, and level with a knife. Combine flour, cornmeal, 1/3 cup granulated sugar, baking powder, and salt in a large bowl, stirring with a whisk. Add milk, butter, oil, and egg; stir with a whisk.
5. Pour batter into an 8-inch square baking pan coated with cooking spray. Bake at 425° for 15 minutes or until corn bread is lightly browned and a wooden pick inserted in center comes out clean. Cool in pan 10 minutes on a wire rack; remove from pan. Cool completely on wire rack. Cut corn bread into 9 squares.
6. Spoon about 1 tablespoon sauce onto each of 9 plates, and top with 1 corn bread square. Top each corn bread square with about 1/4 cup fresh berry topping. Spoon about 1 tablespoon whipped topping over each serving.
