Ingredients

• 2 cups Mixed berries (fresh or frozen)
• 2 tablespoons Granulated sugar
• 1 teaspoon Cornstarch
• 2 tablespoons Water
• 1 teaspoon Lemon juice
• 0.5 teaspoon Vanilla extract

Directions

Step 1

In a small bowl, mix the cornstarch and water together until fully dissolved to create a smooth slurry. Set aside.

Step 2

Place the mixed berries in a medium-sized saucepan over medium heat. If using frozen berries, no need to thaw them first.

Step 3

Add the sugar and stir gently. Continue to cook until the berries release their juices and the mixture begins to bubble, about 5 minutes.

Step 4

Stir the cornstarch slurry into the berry mixture and cook for another 1-2 minutes, stirring constantly, until the sauce thickens.

Step 5

Remove the saucepan from heat and stir in the lemon juice and vanilla extract for added brightness and depth of flavor.

Step 6

Serve the warm berry topping immediately over your dish of choice, or let it cool before storing in the refrigerator for later use.
