Recipe type: Sauce/Topping
Serves: 1¼ cup
Ingredients
  • 2 cups frozen berries of your choice (Peaches also work well.)
  • ¾ cup sugar (You can cut this down to ½ cup for a less sweet sauce, if desired.)
  • 2 tbsp water
  • ½ tsp fresh-squeezed lemon juice
Instructions
  1. Combine frozen berries, sugar, and water in a 1-quart saucepan.
  2. Slowly bring to a boil over medium heat. Be sure to stir often so the sugar doesn't burn while waiting for more moisture to draw out of the frozen berries.
  3. Once berries have melted and sugar is dissolving in sauce, watch closely for the mixture to come to a simmer. Once the sauce is simmering, turn heat down to low or where it can still maintain a simmer.
  4. Stir often and allow to simmer for 10-15 minutes or until sauce is beginning to thicken. Sauce may need an additional 5 minutes of simmering depending on how much moisture was in the fruit/berries.
  5. Remember: Sauce will thicken more as it cools, so you want the simmering sauce to be about half as thick as you want it to be when it's cooled. When it is at that point, take it off the heat and squeeze in the ½ tsp fresh lemon juice.
  6. You can speed up cooling time by placing the sauce in the fridge, or you can leave it out at room temperature to cool.
  7. Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator.
  8. Enjoy!
