- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 1 tablespoon cornstarch
- 2 tablespoons cold water
- 0.5 teaspoon vanilla extract
Directions
Step 1
In a medium saucepan, combine the wild blueberries, blackberries, raspberries, and granulated sugar.
Step 2
Place the pan over medium heat and bring the mixture to a gentle simmer, stirring occasionally.
Step 3
Add the lemon juice to the berry mixture and continue simmering for 5-7 minutes until the berries begin to release their juices.

In a small bowl, mix the cornstarch with the cold water to create a slurry.
Step 5
Gradually stir the cornstarch slurry into the simmering berry mixture, ensuring it’s evenly incorporated.
Step 6
Continue cooking the sauce over medium heat, stirring constantly, until it thickens to your desired consistency (approximately 2-3 minutes).
Step 7
Remove the saucepan from the heat and stir in the vanilla extract.
Step 8
Allow the sauce to cool slightly before serving. If desired, strain the sauce through a fine-mesh sieve for a smoother texture.
