Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups Mixed berries (fresh or frozen)
- 2 tablespoons Granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon Cornstarch
- 2 tablespoons Water
- 1 teaspoon Lemon juice
- 0.5 teaspoon Vanilla extract
Instructions
In a small bowl, mix the cornstarch and water together until fully dissolved to create a smooth slurry. Set aside.
Place the mixed berries in a medium-sized saucepan over medium heat. If using frozen berries, no need to thaw them first.
Add the sugar and stir gently. Continue to cook until the berries release their juices and the mixture begins to bubble, about 5 minutes.
Stir the cornstarch slurry into the berry mixture and cook for another 1-2 minutes, stirring constantly, until the sauce thickens.
Remove the saucepan from heat and stir in the lemon juice and vanilla extract for added brightness and depth of flavor.
Serve the warm berry topping immediately over your dish of choice, or let it cool before storing in the refrigerator for later use.
