GOOSEBERRIES, APPLES & RAISINS IN WINE

Serves 4
Each serving equals 1 cup of fruit or vegetables


Ingredients
• 1 cup sweet white wine
• ¼ cup raisins
• 2 Tbsp sugar
• 1 pint green gooseberries, topped, and tailed
• 2 cups Yellow Delicious apples, quartered, cored, peeled, and cut into ¼-inch slices
• 1 tsp cornstarch
• 4 Tbsp low-fat whipped cream
• ½ tsp cinnamon
• ½ tsp powdered butter substitute
• dash of nutmeg



Directions
Combine wine, raisins, and sugar in saucepan. Bring to a boil, then cover and simmer for 5 minutes.

Add gooseberries; poach until just barely tender, about 5 to 8 minutes. Do not let syrup bubble or berries may burst.

Transfer fruit gently with a slotted spoon to a serving dish.

Add apples to syrup and poach until gently tender, approximately 5 to 10 minutes. Do not over cook, or the apples will be mushy.

Transfer apples with slotted spoon to serving dish.

Stir cornstarch in to syrup and cook for 1 minute, stirring constantly.

Pour over fruit, let cool, and serve with whipped cream.
