Four ingredients make this Blueberry Strawberry Swirl Sherbet so easy and so good! Wild blueberries, strawberry preserves, vanilla and sweetened condensed milk seal the deal. Add a dollop of whipped cream and you have sweet, Red, White and Blue treat.
Years ago when my daughter was just starting out on her own, her stepdad and I would throw parties outside for family and friends. Every warm weather holiday from Memorial Day through Labor Day consisted of a picnic of sorts. I’d make massive mounds of potato salad and macaroni salad. Cole slaw, watermelon and assorted beers, wine, soda, iced tea and iced coffee made their was to table.
Picnics and bbqs at our house were a must. A day of fun with volleyball, beanbags, music and just hanging out.
Everyone comes and goes as they want. Food was always available. You eat what you want.
Most times the evening ended in backyard fireworks.
Well, maybe not that spectacular! 😉
Desserts back then were cookies painted with red, white and blue icing. Sometimes a cake would appear with red, white and blue frosting. Rocket ice pops were popular as an ice cold treat for kids and adults.
Red, White and Blueberry Bars.
Nowadays the large backyard picnics are over. But I still enjoy to celebrate with a bit of Red, White and Blue.
Blueberry Strawberry Swirl Sherbet takes the goodness of wild blueberries and sweetened condensed milk and makes a smooth, creamy sherbet.
Swirl in some chunky strawberry preserves.
Don’t forget to add some white. A large squirt of whipped cream is just the thing!
