    You no longer have to buy berry sauce from the store, please don’t! Trust me, this is homemade and is so much better. 

    With only 5 ingredients berry sauce (4 if you’re using one sort of berries) it takes only 10 minutes to whip up a delicious sauce.

    Summer is the perfect time for fresh berries like strawberries, raspberries, or blueberries or any berries you find in the season to make a perfect berry sauce.

    Fresh or frozen, whipping up this simple sweet sauce recipe have never been easier. 

    So every time I get my hands on fresh berries I can't resist experimenting in search of a new yummy recipe.

    Strawberries look amazing on the pictures, don't you think so?

    Anyways, there's always something to be done with berries before they get too ripe. No berry will be wasted! 

    Making sauce out of these berries seems to be the easiest way, especially if you are busy and running out of time.

    It's ideal if you're looking to make something quick out of a few ingredients that go well with ice cream, cake, pancakes and etc.

    What can be better than a homemade Vanilla Ice cream sundae? My favorite!

    Ingredients

    The recipe is super easy and doesn't require any pro skills, just perfect for a beginner.

    For this mixed Berry Sauce we only need to mix five ingredients:

    • Sugar
    • Strawberries 
    • blueberries (or your choice of berries)
    • Lemon juice
    • Water

    How Do You Thicken The Berry Sauce?

    In this recipe I haven’t used cornstarch or other additives like jam sugar or pectin like you'll find in most of the recipes and let me tell you, the result is still perfect! With the right amount of sugar and berries cooked thoroughly following this recipe, you should be able to enjoy a very aromatic homemade berry sauce!

    Besides we still want to have a ''sauce'' consistency for this recipe, not a jam. However, if you want your sauce to be extra thick, whisk a spoon of cornstarch (or potato starch) with water until smooth and then add to the saucepan. The sauce will thicken further as it cools down.

    1. Cut strawberries in quarters and place them in a medium pot.
    2. Add all the rest ingredients to the pot over medium heat.
    3. Stir until the sugar dissolves in the sauce.
    4. Once the mix starts to boil, reduce the heat to medium-low and cover.
    This homemade strawberry sauce is only 5 ingredients, and is the perfect berry topping to go on ice cream, cheesecake, pancakes, waffles, yogurt, biscuits and more!

    5. Let simmer for 10 minutes stir every 3 or so minutes.

    6. Uncover and shut off the heat.

    7. Remove the sauce from the heat, let it cool a bit, and carefully pour into a heat-safe container. 

    8. Serve warm or cold on pancakes, waffles, ice cream, or any other dish that will go well with sweet berry sauce.

    For storing: Cool completely at room temperature, then cover tightly and store the leftover sauce in the refrigerator until ready to use.

    • Ice cream - strawberry ice cream sundae anyone?
    • Waffles, pancakes, crepes 
    • Cheesecake
    • Yogurt - Add some granola to your frozen yogurt and top up with the berry sauce for the perfect breakfast or dessert. Or add to a parfait or panna cotta. You'll not regret it.
    • Biscuits
