Ingredients
- 1 cup fresh strawberries
- 1 cup fresh blueberries
- 1 cup fresh raspberries
- 1 cup fresh blackberries
- 2 tablespoons pure maple syrup
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 1 tablespoon cornstarch
- 2 tablespoons water
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Directions
Step 1
Wash all the berries thoroughly under cold water and pat them dry with a paper towel.
Step 2
Cut the strawberries into quarters if they are large, and leave them whole if they are small.
Step 3
In a medium saucepan over medium heat, combine the strawberries, blueberries, raspberries, blackberries, pure maple syrup, and lemon juice. Stir occasionally for about 5 minutes, or until the berries start to release their juices.
Step 4
In a small bowl, mix cornstarch with water to create a slurry. Ensure there are no lumps.
Step 5
Add the cornstarch slurry to the saucepan with the berries, stirring continuously to prevent any lumps from forming. Cook for another 5-8 minutes, or until the sauce thickens to your desired consistency.
Step 6
Remove the saucepan from the heat and stir in the vanilla extract.
Step 7
Allow the berry sauce to cool down slightly before serving or transferring to a storage container.
Step 8
Serve the Low Sodium Mixed Berry Sauce warm or chilled over pancakes, waffles, yogurt, or any dessert of your choice.
