Directions

  1. Add the berries, vanilla and cinnamon (if using), to a pot over medium heat. Bring to a simmer and continue to cook until the berries are tender and the mixture resembles a sauce, about 10 minutes.

  2. Remove the cooked berries from the heat. If the sauce is quite watery, add the arrowroot flour to the lemon juice & pour into the sauce. Combine well. If the sauce resembles the texture you want, skip using the arrowroot flour and simply stir in the lemon juice.

  3. Let it cool then transfer to an airtight jar or container and refrigerate until ready to use. This is great on pancakes or with yogurt. Enjoy!
