Grandma’s little bit of work turned ordinary waffles into a special-occasion treat.

1 cup frozen raspberries
1 cup frozen blueberries
8 fresh hot waffles

1

Combine water, granulated sugar, corn syrup and cornstarch in a large saucepan.
2

Cook sugar mixture, stirring continually, over medium heat until thickened, about 8 minutes. Remove from heat.

Grandma's Secret Trick

Grandma took her visiting grandchildren on berry-picking expeditions every summer. She washed and drained the wild raspberries and blueberries, then spread them on trays and froze them. She packed the frozen berries into resealable plastic bags for ready-to-use frozen berries all year round.
