Four-Berry Sauce

This Four-Berry Sauce doubles as pastry or doughnut filling, pie filling, and the leftovers can be placed in a jar and refrigerated as preserves.

Aren’t they just beautiful?

Four-Berry Sauce

• 4 cups fresh or frozen berries, one kind or mixed
• 1-2 cups sugar
• 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
• 1/4 cup bourbon (optional for drunken berry sauce)
• 1/3 cup cornstarch

Place the berries, sugar, and lemon juice in a saucepan and stir together. Let it sit for half an hour.

Stir in the bourbon if desired.

Stir in the cornstarch.

Place over medium heat. Bring to a boil. The sauce will thicken. After it starts to thicken, continue to cook while stirring for a few minutes.

Keep warm and serve.
