Sour Cream Sauce (for fruit)

I usually have a bowl of fresh fruit in the fridge during the spring and summer time. I buy whatever berries are on sale as well as grapes and bananas. It's so easy to spoon a bunch of fruit in a bowl for breakfast, and it's even good as a dessert after supper. It's an even better dessert when I added this fruit sauce to it. I mean, WOW! It is amazing, and a little bit goes a long way. The sweetness of the sauce perfectly pairs with the tartness of the fruit. This would also be perfect for a brunch or if you are having company over.



Ingredients:
1/3 cup butter, softened
1 cup powdered sugar
1/2 cup sour cream (I used light)
1/2 teaspoon lemon juice
1/4 teaspoon vanilla extract

Directions:
Beat butter and powdered sugar at medium speed with an electric mixer until smooth. Add sour cream, lemon juice, and vanilla, beating until creamy. Cover and chill until ready to serve (up to 8 hours).
Makes about 1 3/4 cups.
