Panna Cotta {Egg-free, Gluten-free}

We had an egg-free, gluten-free Christmas.  For our Christmas day dinner, I wanted to make something for dessert that everyone could eat.  I also wanted something fairly easy to prepare during our busy Christmas festivities.  So, I made my go to Panna Cotta recipe from the Joy of Cooking cookbook.  I love this recipe.  It is simple and delicious!  I am pretty sure they wouldn't appreciate me reprinting it here.  So, I found a couple of recipes online that are similar at epicurious.com and allrecipes.com.  But if you have a Joy of Cooking cookbook, be sure to look it up there!

Easy Fresh Berry Dessert Topping

2 pounds of fresh whole strawberries

1 pint of fresh whole blueberries

¼ c white granulated sugar

Wash strawberries, cut of stems and cut into ½ inch pieces.  Put in a large bowl or container.  Wash blueberries, drain and add to the bowl.  Stir in sugar.  Cover and refrigerate for at 1-2 hours.  This allows the sugar to dissolve into a light syrup.  Top over cake, ice cream or cheesecake.  
Serves 8-10
