How to Make Savory Saskatoon Berry Sauce For Chicken Or Pork

  1. Combine 2 cups Saskatoon berries (or substitute berries) and 1/4 cup water in a medium saucepan. Bring to a boil over medium heat.
  2. Add 1 vegetable bouillon cube, 2 cloves minced garlic, 1 teaspoon black peppercorns, 1 sprig fresh thyme, and 1 sprig fresh rosemary.
  3. Reduce heat to low and simmer for 5 minutes, allowing the berries to soften and release their juices.
  4. In a small bowl, whisk together 2 tablespoons cornstarch and 2 tablespoons sugar until smooth. Gradually whisk the cornstarch mixture into the simmering berry mixture.
  5. Bring the sauce back to a boil, stirring constantly. Continue to boil for 1-2 minutes, or until the sauce has thickened and become translucent. Remove from heat.
  6. Stir in 1 tablespoon of fresh lemon juice. Taste and adjust seasoning as needed (add more sugar or salt to your preference).
  7. Serve immediately over your favorite roast or barbequed pork tenderloin or chicken breast.
