Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup fresh strawberries
- 1 cup fresh blueberries
- 1 cup fresh raspberries
- 3 tablespoons granulated sugar
- 2 tablespoons honey
- 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
Rinse the strawberries, blueberries, and raspberries under cold water and pat them dry.
Remove the green tops from the strawberries and cut them into halves or quarters, depending on their size.
Place all the berries on a parchment-lined baking sheet.
Sprinkle the granulated sugar evenly over the berries.
Drizzle the honey over the top of the berries for added sweetness.
Place the baking sheet in the oven and roast the berries for 15-20 minutes, or until they are soft and syrupy. Stir gently halfway through roasting to ensure they cook evenly.
Once roasted, transfer the warm berries to a medium-sized saucepan and set over medium heat.
Add the fresh lemon juice and vanilla extract to the saucepan, stirring gently to combine.
Bring the mixture to a gentle simmer for 3-5 minutes, allowing it to thicken slightly.
Remove the saucepan from heat and let the sauce cool slightly before serving or storing.
Use the sauce warm as a topping, or let it cool completely and store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to one week.
