Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups fresh or frozen mixed berries
- 0.5 cup granulated sugar
- 2 tablespoons lemon juice
- 1 tablespoon cornstarch
- 2 tablespoons water
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions
In a medium saucepan, combine the mixed berries and granulated sugar over medium heat.
Add the lemon juice and stir gently to combine all ingredients.
In a small bowl, mix the cornstarch with water until smooth to create a slurry.
Once the berries start to release juice and the mixture comes to a simmer, add the cornstarch slurry to the pan.
Stir continuously until the sauce begins to thicken, about 2-3 minutes.
Remove the saucepan from heat and stir in the vanilla extract.
Let the sauce cool slightly, then serve warm, or cool completely and refrigerate for future use.
The sauce will thicken further as it cools. It can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to one week.
