Ingredients

• 1 cup blackberries
• 1 cup raspberries
• 0.5 cup granulated sugar
• 1 tablespoon lemon juice
• 2 tablespoons water
• 1 teaspoon cornstarch
• 0.5 teaspoon vanilla extract

Directions

Step 1

In a medium saucepan, combine the blackberries, raspberries, sugar, lemon juice, and water.

Step 2

Place the saucepan over medium heat and stir gently to dissolve the sugar.

Step 3

Bring the mixture to a gentle simmer, stirring occasionally, and cook for about 5-7 minutes until the berries soften and release their juices.

Step 4

In a small bowl, mix the cornstarch with 1 teaspoon of water to create a slurry.

Step 5

Add the cornstarch slurry to the saucepan and stir well to incorporate.

Step 6

Continue to cook for another 2-3 minutes, stirring constantly, until the sauce begins to thicken to your desired consistency.

Step 7

Remove the saucepan from the heat and stir in the vanilla extract.

Step 8

Optional: For a smooth sauce, carefully strain the mixture through a fine-mesh sieve to remove the seeds, using the back of a spoon to press the sauce through.

Step 9

Allow the sauce to cool slightly before serving. Serve warm or chilled, depending on your preference.
