You just never know what you will find when you go to the grocery store. Today, I walked in and found the most beautiful blackberries, red raspberries, and blueberries. Well, of course, how could I pass those by! When I got home, I just looked at my impulse purchase and thought to myself, now what are you going to do with these? I thought about making a pie or tarts, but after taking a closer look at the berries, I noticed the blackberries were so big that they also had an incredible number of seeds. So, now I knew I wanted to make something I could strain the seeds out. Out came my saucepan, in went the berries and I have to say, the most delicious sauce was the result. Perfect for serving over ice cream during the holidays.
- 1 cup blueberries
- 1 cup red raspberries
- 1 cup blackberries
- 1/2 cup sugar
- 2 tablespoons cornstarch
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 1/4 cup water
- 1 tablespoon Framboise liqueur (optional)
- In a medium saucepan combine berries, sugar, cornstarch, lemon juice and water. Stir to combine. Heat over high heat until the mixture starts to boil, reduce heat and cook for 5 - 8 minutes or until thick and clear. Strain sauce through a fine mesh strainer. Stir in Framboise.
- This sauce can be served either warm or cold.
YUM!! I love berries so I’m sure I’d eat this sauce by the spoonful 😉
