Ingredients

• 1 cup fresh strawberries
• 1 cup fresh blueberries
• 1 cup fresh raspberries
• 3 tablespoons granulated sugar
• 2 tablespoons honey
• 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).

Step 2

Rinse the strawberries, blueberries, and raspberries under cold water and pat them dry.

Step 3

Remove the green tops from the strawberries and cut them into halves or quarters, depending on their size.

Step 4

Place all the berries on a parchment-lined baking sheet.

Step 5

Sprinkle the granulated sugar evenly over the berries.

Step 6

Drizzle the honey over the top of the berries for added sweetness.

Step 7

Place the baking sheet in the oven and roast the berries for 15-20 minutes, or until they are soft and syrupy. Stir gently halfway through roasting to ensure they cook evenly.

Step 8

Once roasted, transfer the warm berries to a medium-sized saucepan and set over medium heat.

Step 9

Add the fresh lemon juice and vanilla extract to the saucepan, stirring gently to combine.

Step 10

Bring the mixture to a gentle simmer for 3-5 minutes, allowing it to thicken slightly.

Remove the saucepan from heat and let the sauce cool slightly before serving or storing.

Step 12

Use the sauce warm as a topping, or let it cool completely and store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to one week.
