It’s a wonderful time of year. Berries are in season! Here’s a recipe for a delicious mixed berry sauce that uses raspberries, blackberries, blueberries, and strawberries – I’d argue that it’s the only berry sauce you’ll ever need. You need four cups berries total, so you can use any combination you like. Stir it into yogurt, use it to make parfaits, or spoon it over ice cream, waffles, and pancakes. It’s so good I’ve been eating it by the spoonful on its own!

I do this often, so simple + perfect!!
could you use honey in place of agave?
Yes, Beth, you can substitute honey in place of agave. Enjoy!
I would love this sauce on top of my yogurt in the mornings!
I do not have a dutch oven. How can I make it without it?
It seems so easy and good.I can’t wait to try it. Thanks!
A large saucepan or small soup kettle will work just fine in place of a Dutch oven. Hope you enjoy this berry sauce as much as we do!
