Red, White and Blue Ice Cream Sundae

 Happy 4th of July to everyone here in the United States!! I wanted to make a cool patriotic sundae to enjoy during this heatwave we are having around most of the country.  I bought some vanilla ice cream and jazzed it up with homemade strawberry and blueberry sauce. The kids loved it and they were perched at the table with spoon in hand to attack this sundae bowl as soon as I was done taking my pictures.   The great thing about either of these sauces is it can be used over plain yogurt as well.  We tested it with yogurt and a little honey for extra sweetness and it was fabulous.   You can also add some maple syrup to the sauces for a fun maple-berry topping to pancakes or waffles.  This can even be a great berry flavor for smoothies.... the possibilities are endless. :)  Hope you all have a wonderful and safe holiday!!

Strawberry Sauce:
1lb of cleaned strawberries

To assemble sundae:
