Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 3 cups Mixed berries (strawberries, blueberries, raspberries, blackberries)
- 2 tablespoons Granulated sugar
- 1 tablespoon Lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon Cornstarch
- 2 tablespoons Water
- 0.5 teaspoons Vanilla extract (optional)
Instructions
Wash and rinse the mixed berries. If using strawberries, remove the stems and cut them into quarters.
In a medium saucepan, add the mixed berries, sugar, and lemon juice.
Place the saucepan over medium heat and stir gently to combine.
In a small bowl, mix the cornstarch and water to form a slurry.
Once the berry mixture begins to release juices and comes to a simmer, stir in the cornstarch slurry.
Continue to cook, stirring gently, for 2-3 minutes until the mixture thickens slightly.
Remove the saucepan from the heat and stir in the optional vanilla extract for added flavor.
Serve warm over pancakes, waffles, yogurt, or ice cream, or let it cool completely and store in the refrigerator for up to a week.
