Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup wild blueberries
- 1 cup wild blackberries
- 1 cup wild raspberries
- 0.5 cup granulated sugar
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 1 tablespoon cornstarch
- 2 tablespoons cold water
- 0.5 teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions
In a medium saucepan, combine the wild blueberries, blackberries, raspberries, and granulated sugar.
Place the pan over medium heat and bring the mixture to a gentle simmer, stirring occasionally.
Add the lemon juice to the berry mixture and continue simmering for 5-7 minutes until the berries begin to release their juices.
In a small bowl, mix the cornstarch with the cold water to create a slurry.
Gradually stir the cornstarch slurry into the simmering berry mixture, ensuring it’s evenly incorporated.
Continue cooking the sauce over medium heat, stirring constantly, until it thickens to your desired consistency (approximately 2-3 minutes).
Remove the saucepan from the heat and stir in the vanilla extract.
Allow the sauce to cool slightly before serving. If desired, strain the sauce through a fine-mesh sieve for a smoother texture.
Serve warm or chilled over pancakes, waffles, cheesecake, roasted meats, or any dish of your choice. Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days.
