Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups fresh or frozen mixed berries (such as strawberries, blueberries, raspberries, and blackberries)
- 0.25 cup water
- 0.25 cup granular erythritol sweetener
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 0.5 teaspoon xanthan gum
- 1 pinch salt
Instructions
In a medium saucepan, combine the mixed berries and water. Heat over medium heat until the mixture begins to simmer.
Stir in the erythritol sweetener, lemon juice, and vanilla extract until well combined.
Allow the mixture to cook for about 8-10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the berries have softened and released their juices.
Using a potato masher or a fork, gently mash the berries to your desired consistency, leaving some whole for texture.
Sprinkle the xanthan gum evenly over the sauce. Stir well to prevent any lumps from forming. Cook for an additional 2-3 minutes until the sauce thickens.
Add a pinch of salt to enhance the flavors and stir well.
Remove the saucepan from heat and allow the sauce to cool slightly. It will continue to thicken as it cools.
Transfer the sauce to a serving dish or storage container. Serve warm over pancakes or desserts, or refrigerate until ready to use. The sauce can be stored in the fridge for up to a week.
