Ingredients
- 3 cups berries blueberry, blackberry, strawberry
- sugar up to 1/4 cup
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice fresh
- 1/4 teaspoon vanilla
- 1/2 cup water divided (use 2 tablespoons to blend cornstarch
- 2 tablespoons cornstarch
Instructions
- In a small saucepan over medium heat, combine the berries, lemon juice 2 tablespoons sugar, and water. Cook until the mixture begins to bubble. Cover berries and cook on low until berries are softened (7-10 minutes). You may need to break up the berries with a spoon. Taste and add more sugar if it's not sweet enough.
- In a small bowl, stir 2 tablespoons of water into cornstarch, and stir into the sauce. Cook until thickened (2 minutes). Remove from heat and stir in vanilla. You may strain the mixture through a small sieved strainer to remove skin and seeds or leave it as it is. Let cool and refrigerate or serve warm!

Notes
- If your berries are sweet, you may not need to add much sugar. Add a little at a time. I always taste the sauce and adjust to my preference.
