Recipe information

  • Yield

    6 servings

Ingredients

2 cups fresh berries (blueberries, strawberries, raspberries, or any combination)
1/2 cup apple juice
2 teaspoons cornstarch or arrowroot
1 tablespoon natural granulated sugar, or to taste, optional

Preparation

  1. Step 1

    Wash the berries well. Use small berries such as blueberries or raspberries whole; remove hulls and chop strawberries into approximately 1/2-inch chunks.

    Step 2

    Combine the berries in a medium-size saucepan with the apple juice. Bring to a simmer, cover, and cook gently until all the berries have softened and burst, 5 to 10 minutes.

    Step 3

    Dissolve the cornstarch in 1/4 cup cold water. Stir slowly into the berry mixture and simmer until it has thickened, about 1 minute. If you’d like the sauce to be sweeter, stir in the optional brown sugar to taste. Let cool to room temperature before serving.
