Ingredients
  

Main Ingredients
  • 3 cups frozen mixed berries (blueberries, blackberries, raspberries)
  • 1 cup sugar Can be substituted with erythritol or monk fruit for a low-calorie version.
  • 1/2 cup water For diluting the mixture.
  • 1 Tbsp lemon juice Adds brightness to the flavor.
  • 2 Tbsp cornstarch Used to thicken the sauce.
  • 2 Tbsp water For cornstarch slurry.

Method
 

Preparation
  1. In a large saucepan, combine the frozen mixed berries, sugar, and water. Bring to a rolling boil, then reduce heat to medium-high and let simmer for 4-5 minutes, stirring frequently.
  2. Reduce heat to medium and mash the mixture with a potato masher.
  3. Add the lemon juice.
  4. Mix the cornstarch with the additional water to create a slurry and stir it in over medium heat.
  5. Continue to cook for 1-2 minutes until the mixture thickens, then remove from heat and let cool.
  6. Store the sauce in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to two weeks.

Notes

For meal prep, try portioning into small containers for easy use. You can freeze portions for up to 3 months. If freezing, consider using less cornstarch as it may affect texture when thawed.
