What You'll Need

1 cup V8 V-Fusion® Light Pomegranate Blueberry Juice
1 tablespoon cornstarch
1 stalk (about 18 inches long) rhubarb, trimmed and diced (about 1 cup)
2 cups strawberries cut in quarters
1 1/4 teaspoons ground cinnamon
1/8 teaspoon ground cloves
1 tablespoon honey
1/4 cup packed brown sugar
1 cup cholesterol-free egg substitute
1/4 cup nonfat milk
8 slices Pepperidge Farm® 100% Whole Wheat Cinnamon Swirl Bread With Raisins

How to Make It

  • 1

    Stir 2 tablespoons juice and the cornstarch in a small bowl until the mixture is smooth.

  • 2

    Heat the rhubarb, strawberries, remaining juice, 1/4 teaspoon cinnamon, cloves, honey and brown sugar in a 10-inch skillet over medium-high heat to a boil.  Reduce the heat to medium-low.  Cook for 10 minutes or until the fruit is tender.  Add the cornstarch mixture and cook and stir for 2 minutes or until the mixture is thickened. Remove the skillet from the heat.

  • 3

    Beat the egg substitute, milk and remaining cinnamon in a shallow baking dish.  Add 4 bread slices to the egg mixture and turn to coat.  Repeat with the remaining bread slices while the first 4 are cooking as directed below.

  • 4

    Heat a 12-inch nonstick skillet over medium-high heat.  Add the 4 coated bread slices and cook for 5 minutes or until lightly browned on both sides.  Repeat with the remaining coated bread slices.  Serve with the fruit mixture.
