Spring is here. And with spring comes berries, which means its time to share this fabulous dessert. It is a favorite from my new cookbook and is called “Berries in Compote with Vanilla Paste Sour Whipped Cream”…

See the beautiful flecks of vanilla bean in the whipped cream? That comes from our amazing vanilla paste! It has a clean vanilla taste without all the alcohol found in extract. We use it in place of extract in all our recipes. If you bake a lot it’s worth it to get the big bottle!
