Mixed Berry Sauce
Ingredients
- 1 cup water
- 1 cup sugar
- 3 cup mixed berries, or just one type of berry, whatever
- 1 tbsp cornstarch or arrowroot powder
- 1 tbsp water
Instructions
- In a medium saucepan, combine water and sugar. Bring to a slow boil and boil for about 5 minutes, stirring frequently.
- While the simple syrup is coming together, slice or dice any berries that need it, like strawberries. Raspberries and blueberries can stay whole.
- Add berries to syrup, reduce heat and simmer another 5 minutes. In a small bowl, stir together the cornstarch or arrowroot powder with the water. Slowly stir into the syrup, bring back to a boil and cook until thickened.
Notes
*This amount of cornstarch will create a semi-thick but still runny sauce, about the consistency of syrup. You can easily make it thicker to use in pies or as a cake filling by doubling the amount of cornstarch.
