If you are using cornstarch, add your lemon juice and cornstarch together and mix well in a small bowl then proceed to next step. If you are not using cornstarch then proceed to next step. (see notes above for more information on this)

Step 2

To start, in a small sauce pan add all of the above ingredients and bring to a simmer over medium heat.

Step 3

Once it comes to a simmer, reduce heat to low and let simmer for 15-20 minutes or until it begins to thicken a little bit and the juices begin to release from the berries.

Step 4

Once this happens, remove from the heat and allow to come to room temperature.

Step 5

Once it has come to room temperature, place your sauce into a jar with a lid or cover with plastic wrap and place in the refrigerator for 4 hours or overnight.

Once the berry sauce is chilled you can add it as a topping to your favorite dessert or breakfast.
