Hopefully many of you have found LeAnn Morgan and her great videos. They have been such a highlight during these past 4 months. She is such a gifted comedian and safe for the whole family to listen to. In several of her videos she has shared several jello salads that sound so “yummy” (as per LeAnn. The other day she mentioned that she had used a can of the Oregon blueberries which are packed in light syrup, which she added to Cool Whip and I think crushed pineapple. Well, I ran to the store and found this can of blueberries, buy by the time I got home, I started to think about the Strawberry Pretzel salad (aka best dessert on the planet). So when I walked in the kitchen to put away the items I had just bought, I already had it in my mind to make the strawberry pretzel salad, substituting the blueberries for the topping. So this is what I did. I made the base just like you make for the strawberry salad, but then for the topping I did the following:
In a medium saucepan, pour the contents of the Oregon blueberries. Add 1 tables of butter, bring to a boil. While waiting for the blueberries and juice to boil, mix 2 full teas of cornstarch with 1/4 cup of water. Stir until mixed. Then add the cornstarch mixture to the boiling blueberries. Remove from heat and stir until thickened. Cool for about an hour, or until thoroughly cooled to room temperature. Spoon over the cream cheese/Cool Whip/powdered sugar layer. Cover and keep in refrigerator
