Ingredients
1cupblackberries
1cupblueberries
1cupstrawberries
3/4cupsugar
1tbspfresh lemon juice
Instructions
Wash and drain the fresh blackberries and blueberries (or simply measure the frozen fruit if using.) Add the berries to a large saucepan.
Wash and drain the fresh strawberries and trim the green tops off. Cut into smaller chunks and add them to the saucepan. (Simply measure the frozen strawberries if using.)
Gently stir together the berries with the sugar and lemon juice.
Heat the berries over medium heat until the sugar is completely disolved into the juices and the berries are soft. Turn the heat down to low and continue to simmer for 5 minutes or until the sauce begins to thicken.
Use an immersion blender to puree the berries right in the pan. OR carefully transfer the mixture to a traditional blender and puree.
Set a strainer over a clean storage bowl. Carefully pour the sauce through the strainer to remove the seeds and pulp. Either serve the sauce immediately or you can chill it in the fridge until serving.
