(Keep in mind, the berries will thicken even more as they cool. You might not need all of the slurry. Then again you might need more. It depends on the berries.).
- Remove from heat and pour the berries into a large bowl or individual serving dishes. Cover with plastic wrap and chill well.
- Serve topped with a little cream or with a dollop of whipped cream.

SHEILA'S SWEDISH CREME
This is a "must have" on our Christmas dessert table, but it is equally as good any time of year, or for any occasion. Although I use berries, it is wonderful with all different fresh fruits, such as kiwi or peaches. It is also very versatile and can be layered with fruit in a parfait dish if you prefer, nestled in a puff pastry or dessert shell, or set in a mold. We always serve it in one large stemmed glass bowl. Preparation time does not include chilling time.
