Ingredients
- 2 cups fresh or frozen mixed berries (such as strawberries, blueberries, raspberries, and blackberries)
- 0.25 cup water
- 0.25 cup granular erythritol sweetener
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 0.5 teaspoon xanthan gum
- 1 pinch salt
Directions
Step 1
In a medium saucepan, combine the mixed berries and water. Heat over medium heat until the mixture begins to simmer.
Step 2
Stir in the erythritol sweetener, lemon juice, and vanilla extract until well combined.
Step 3
Allow the mixture to cook for about 8-10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the berries have softened and released their juices.
Step 4
Using a potato masher or a fork, gently mash the berries to your desired consistency, leaving some whole for texture.
Step 5
Sprinkle the xanthan gum evenly over the sauce. Stir well to prevent any lumps from forming. Cook for an additional 2-3 minutes until the sauce thickens.
Step 6
Add a pinch of salt to enhance the flavors and stir well.
Step 7
Remove the saucepan from heat and allow the sauce to cool slightly. It will continue to thicken as it cools.
Step 8
Transfer the sauce to a serving dish or storage container. Serve warm over pancakes or desserts, or refrigerate until ready to use. The sauce can be stored in the fridge for up to a week.
