Notes: These squares are suppose to be good for picnics as you can eat them out of your hands. In Linda's experience you can expect some sticky hands and stained t-shirts.
Frozen blueberries can be used although you may need to use a little more cornstarch to thicken the filling.
I would increase the blueberries to 2 cups berries, 4 tablespoons white sugar and 3 teaspoons of cornstarch if planning to serve them on a plate as I find the fruit filling a little sparse.
Can substitute other fruit such as sliced strawberries, or raspberries.
