Grilled Pound Cake with Strawberries
Ingredients:
½ cup strawberry jelly
2 cups strawberries, fresh, washed*
1 (9-inch rectangular) pound cake
Spray oil, for grill (preferably butter flavor)
Powdered sugar, for garnish
Preheat grill for direct fire, medium heat.
Preparation:
In a small pan add jelly. Transfer to grill and heat until fully melted, stirring constantly to prevent burning. Remove from heat and transfer to a glass bowl. Add berries and stir to mix well. Cover with plastic wrap and place in refrigerator to chill until needed.
On a cutting board add cake and slice into 10 to 12 slices or about 1/2 inch thick. Spray grill with oil. Place cake slices on grill and cook for 2 minutes on each side or until lightly toasted. Transfer to a serving platter and top with prepared sauce. Dust the whole platter with powdered sugar. Serve warm. Makes 4 to 6 servings.
COOK’S NOTE: You can substitute different berries for this sauce, if desired. Just make sure you match the berries with the same flavor jelly.
