Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup strawberries
- 1 cup blueberries
- 1 cup raspberries
- 0.25 cup granulated sugar
- 2 tablespoons lemon juice
- 1 tablespoon cornstarch
- 2 tablespoons water
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions
Wash the strawberries, blueberries, and raspberries thoroughly and pat them dry.
Hull and quarter the strawberries, ensuring they are roughly the same size as the other berries.
In a medium saucepan, combine the strawberries, blueberries, raspberries, granulated sugar, and lemon juice.
Heat the mixture over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until the sugar dissolves and the berries begin to release their juices, about 5 minutes.
In a small bowl, whisk together the cornstarch and water until smooth. Gradually stir this slurry into the berry mixture.
Continue to cook the mixture over medium heat, stirring constantly, until it thickens slightly, about 2-3 minutes.
Remove the saucepan from the heat and stir in the vanilla extract.
Let the sauce cool slightly before serving warm. Alternatively, allow it to cool completely and refrigerate for later use.
Serve over your favorite pancakes, waffles, ice cream, or desserts, and enjoy!
