How to Make Canadian Wild Berry Sauce

  1. Combine 1 cup partridgeberries (or lingonberries), 1/2 cup granulated sugar, and 1/4 cup water in a medium saucepan.
  2. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat, stirring occasionally, until the berries start to soften (about 5 minutes).
  3. Reduce heat to low and simmer gently for 5 minutes more to extract the juices.
  4. Stir in 1 cup blueberries.
  5. In a small bowl, whisk together 2 tablespoons cornstarch and 2 tablespoons cold water until smooth.
  6. Gradually whisk the cornstarch slurry into the simmering berry mixture.
  7. Continue to simmer, stirring constantly, until the sauce has thickened to your desired consistency (about 2-3 minutes).
  8. Remove from heat and stir in 1 teaspoon vanilla extract.
