Because the Mendocino Art Center began on dreams and a shoestring, Jennie Zacha created her Hot Wild Blackberry Sundaes to help with fundraising. They soon became an Art Center tradition.

2. When the berries are hot, remove from heat. Do not permit the berries to boil.

3. Serve immediately over vanilla ice cream donated by Mendocino Coast markets.

Jennie Zacha’s spirit guides the hand that stirs the pot.
