Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups mixed berries (fresh or frozen, unsweetened)
- 2 tablespoons lemon juice
- 0.5 teaspoon lemon zest
- 0.25 cup erythritol sweetener
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 0.5 teaspoon xanthan gum
- 0.25 cup water
Instructions
In a medium-sized saucepan, combine the mixed berries, lemon juice, lemon zest, and water.
Place the saucepan over medium heat and cook for about 5 minutes, stirring occasionally until the berries have softened and released their juices.
Add the erythritol sweetener to the saucepan, stirring to dissolve. Continue to cook the mixture for an additional 2 minutes.
Remove the saucepan from the heat and gently mash the berries with a fork or potato masher to your desired consistency, leaving some chunks for texture.
Sprinkle the xanthan gum over the berry mixture and whisk briskly to avoid any lumps and to achieve a smooth consistency.
Stir in the vanilla extract to enhance the flavor of the sauce.
Return the saucepan to low heat and simmer for 2-3 more minutes, stirring constantly until the sauce thickens to your preference.
Remove the sauce from the heat and allow it to cool. The sauce will continue to thicken as it cools.
Transfer the cooled berry sauce to a serving dish or airtight container and refrigerate until ready to use. It will keep well in the refrigerator for up to 5 days.
