How to Make Mixed Berry Sauce
- In a heavy-bottomed saucepan, whisk together 1/2 cup water, 1 cup granulated sugar, 2 tablespoons cornstarch, 1 teaspoon almond extract, 1 tablespoon brandy (optional), and 1 teaspoon lemon zest until completely smooth.
- Gently stir in 4 cups frozen mixed berries (or 4 cups of your favorite berries).
- Cook over medium heat, stirring frequently, until the mixture comes to a rolling boil. This should take about 5-7 minutes.
- Reduce heat to low and simmer for 20-30 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the sauce has thickened to your desired consistency. The sauce will continue to thicken as it cools.
- Remove from heat and let cool completely. Once cooled, refrigerate for at least 1 hour to allow the flavors to meld. This will also further thicken the sauce.
