Delicious. I halved the recipe and served it warm with vanilla ice cream. Make sure you simmer the port and sugar for 3 min. It reduces down and makes a nice thick syrup. Then add the port and cornstarch and you get a nice burst of the port and vanilla flavor. Topping is buttery and a perfect compliment to the fruit. Excellent!
