Pretty nice berry sauce. I used a bag of frozen blackberries, 1/2 a bag of frozen rasberries, and 1/2 a bag of frozen blueberries. (I'm trying to clean out my freezer.) I made this in my small crockpot while my big one cooked the main meal. I thought it had a bit of splenda "bite" (or aftertaste) but was nice warm. A little fat free cool-whip would have been nice on top. The rasberries and blackberries cooked down more intensely then the strawberries would have, so stick with the strawberries if you have problems with broken down berries. All in all it was pretty good and I would probably make it again. Thanks!
