Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup blackberries
- 1 cup raspberries
- 0.5 cup granulated sugar
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 2 tablespoons water
- 1 teaspoon cornstarch
- 0.5 teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions
In a medium saucepan, combine the blackberries, raspberries, sugar, lemon juice, and water.
Place the saucepan over medium heat and stir gently to dissolve the sugar.
Bring the mixture to a gentle simmer, stirring occasionally, and cook for about 5-7 minutes until the berries soften and release their juices.
In a small bowl, mix the cornstarch with 1 teaspoon of water to create a slurry.
Add the cornstarch slurry to the saucepan and stir well to incorporate.
Continue to cook for another 2-3 minutes, stirring constantly, until the sauce begins to thicken to your desired consistency.
Remove the saucepan from the heat and stir in the vanilla extract.
Optional: For a smooth sauce, carefully strain the mixture through a fine-mesh sieve to remove the seeds, using the back of a spoon to press the sauce through.
Allow the sauce to cool slightly before serving. Serve warm or chilled, depending on your preference.
