Fresh Berry Sauce

• 2 cups fresh berries (blueberries, strawberries, raspberries, or any combination)
• 1/2 cup apple juice
• 2 teaspoons cornstarch or arrowroot
• 1 tablespoon natural granulated sugar, or to taste, optional

1. Wash the berries well.
2. Use small berries such as blueberries or raspberries whole; remove hulls and chop strawberries into approximately 1/2-inch chunks.
3. Combine the berries in a medium-size saucepan with the apple juice.
4. Bring to a simmer, cover, and cook gently until all the berries have softened and burst, 5 to 10 minutes.
5. Dissolve the cornstarch in 1/4 cup cold water.
6. Stir slowly into the berry mixture and simmer until it has thickened, about 1 minute.
7. If youd like the sauce to be sweeter, stir in the optional brown sugar to taste.
8. Let cool to room temperature before serving.
