This was SOOOOOOO GOOD!!! I made it using blueberries from the produce "mark-down" table at the local market & I'm going back for more berries. I think the sauce would be awesome over pancakes. Thanx Lennie!

I don't know if it was the particular berries I used but I felt the sauce tasted flat. It was much improved by the addition of approximately 1/2 TBS of lemon juice. I served it with Ben and Jerry's ice cream. Overall a great and unusual dessert much enjoyed by my family.

I doubled the recipe then poured the cooked fruit into a 9x13 pan and dropped the batter ontop.Baked it for 45 minutes at 350 degrees.Kids finished the whole pan before it had a chance to cool totally.Next time I'm going to try different fruit combos.This was soo good!!

These are sooooooo good! It was almost like a very easy blueberry pie when I served it warm over french vanilla ice cream. Definately a keeper. I plan to make this often and maybe even try it with some other kinds of fruits as well. Can you imagine this made with peaches?
