Ingredients
- 2 cups mixed berries (strawberries, blueberries, raspberries, blackberries)
- 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 2 tablespoons water
Directions
Step 1
Wash and hull the strawberries if using fresh berries. If using frozen berries, allow them to thaw slightly for about 10 minutes.
Step 2
In a medium-sized saucepan, combine the mixed berries, granulated sugar, lemon juice, and water.
Step 3
Place the saucepan over medium heat and bring the mixture to a simmer, stirring occasionally.
Step 4
Once simmering, reduce the heat to medium-low and let the berries cook gently for about 10 minutes, or until they are soft and have released their juices.
Step 5
Remove the saucepan from heat and allow the berry mixture to cool slightly.
Step 6
Transfer the berry mixture to a blender or food processor. Blend until smooth to your desired consistency.
Step 7
Strain the puree through a fine-mesh sieve into a bowl to remove seeds, using a spoon to press the mixture through if needed.
Step 8
Taste and adjust sweetness by adding more sugar if necessary.
Step 9
Transfer the strained puree to a jar or container. Chill in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes before serving.
Step 10
Serve the berry puree over desserts, pancakes, waffles, or as a topping for yogurt. Store any leftovers in the fridge for up to 5 days.
