Ingredients
 

Main Ingredients

  • 12 oz mixed berries, fresh or frozen
  • 0.33 cup granulated sugar
  • 2 tbsp water
  • 0.13 tsp fine salt
  • 1 tbsp fresh lemon juice
  • 0.5 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1 tsp cornstarch optional, for extra thickness
  • 1 tbsp cold water optional, to mix with cornstarch

Instructions

Preparation Steps

  • Combine berries, sugar, 2 tablespoons water, and salt in a small saucepan.
  • Bring to a gentle simmer over medium heat. Stir and mash until berries burst, 5–7 minutes.
  • Stir in lemon juice and vanilla. Cook 1 minute to brighten the flavor.
  • Whisk cornstarch with 1 tablespoon cold water. Stir in and simmer 30–60 seconds if thicker sauce is desired.
  • Strain through a fine-mesh sieve into a bowl. Cool, then refrigerate until chilled.

Notes

Try all-strawberry or all-raspberry versions, or add a splash of orange liqueur for a grown-up twist. Store covered in the fridge for up to 1 week, or freeze in portions for 3 months.
