Here is the recipe Elaine Merritt made for the March meeting

Blackberry Cheesecake Dessert

1 cup sugar
3 Tablespoons Karo syrup
3 Tablespoons cornstarch
1 1/2 cup water
Mix the cornstarch with 1/4 cup of cold water. Add 1 1/4 cup water with the sugar & Karo syrup in a saucepan. Bring to a boil. Add the cornstarch mixture and cook for 6 minutes. Add 4 tablespoons of Blackberry Fusions (a blend of Blackberry & Raspberry flavors) Jell-o. Dissolve. Cool slightly. Add berries. Blueberries or Raspberries are great. I used a combination of Black raspberries and blueberries for the meeting in March.

Torte crust: 1 cup flour, 2 Tablespoons sugar, 1/2 cup butter, 1/2 cup chopped nuts. Mix well and press into 9" x 13" pan. Bake 10 minutes at 350. Let cool

(for the March meeting I used graham cracker squares for the crust)

Cheese mixture- Blend 16 oz. cream cheese, 2/3 cup sugar-Mix together. Add 8 oz cool whip. Spread this mixture on crust. Spoon berry mixture over this and top with Cool whip.
