Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups Mixed berries (strawberries, blueberries, raspberries, blackberries)
- 0.5 cups Granulated sugar
- 0.25 cups Sherry wine
- 1 tablespoon Lemon juice
- 1 tablespoon Cornstarch
- 2 tablespoons Water
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 1 pinch Salt
Instructions
In a medium saucepan, combine the mixed berries, granulated sugar, sherry wine, and lemon juice.
Place the saucepan over medium heat and stir gently until the sugar dissolves and the berries start to release their juices (about 3–4 minutes).
In a small bowl, mix the cornstarch and water to form a smooth slurry.
Gradually pour the cornstarch slurry into the saucepan, stirring continuously to avoid lumps.
Bring the mixture to a gentle boil, then reduce to a simmer. Cook for 2–3 minutes, or until the sauce thickens to your desired consistency.
Remove the saucepan from the heat and stir in the vanilla extract and a pinch of salt to enhance the flavors.
Let the sauce cool slightly before serving, or refrigerate it for later use. It will thicken further as it cools.
Serve warm or cold over your favorite desserts or main dishes.
