Simple, sweet, and saucy. Just the way it should be.
INGREDIENTS
4 cups fresh assorted berries (chopped strawberries, blueberries, chopped blackberries, raspberries)
1/4 to 1/3 cup evaporated cane sugar
2 tablespoons water
1/4 teaspoon fresh lemon juice
Makes about 3/4 cup
DIRECTIONS
In a large saucepan, combine the berries, 1/4 cup sugar, water, and lemon juice. Whisk well and then bring to a boil over medium heat, stirring often. Lower the heat to a simmer. The berries should begin to burst and it will become very saucy. You can use the back of a large spoon or a potato masher to break up any large chunks of berries. If you aren’t a fan of seeds, you can also push the sauce through a fine-mesh strainer to remove many of the seeds.
Cook for an additional 3 to 5 minutes, until the sauce begins to thicken a bit. Taste for sweetness and add sugar, if necessary. Let the sauce cool before using.
