Berry Sauce

    This is a simple berry sauce that seems to go with whatever I put it on!! It has a sweet but tart flavor.  It is rich enough to make you feel like you have just entered a world of decadence, with a surprise berry here and there.  I have used it as a topping for Chocolate lava cakes. I would imagine that it would go well over a shortcake, or biscuits as well.
     Last weekend I made it and we poured it over waffles. I will put that recipe up tomorrow! You should just plan on having an amazing Sunday morning breakfast.  Invite friends over, or just enjoy whoever is in your house. It is a great way to welcome in the day!

    You can use frozen or fresh berries for the sauce, it will taste delicious either way.  I would recommend having some fresh raspberries around as a topping.  
   
Ingredients:
2 cups berries: raspberries, black berries, and/or blue berries 
1/2 cup fresh raspberries
2 tablespoons white sugar
1/3 cup water

Directions:
    Put two cups of berries in a small sauce pan over medium heat.  Sprinkle 2 tablespoons of white sugar over the top and mix it in.  Add 1/3 cup of water.  
     As the berries are cooking stir the sauce occasionally.  You want to smash some of the berries to release the juice and make it more of a liquid versus a solid.  It is nice to the punch of a berry here and there.
     Boil the mixture to thicken it, add a bit of foaminess, and really enhance the flavor. The time it cooks will depend on what you want the final product to be. Take a look at the pictures above.  For the waffles sauce I only boiled the berry sauce for 5-6 minutes.  I still wanted chunks of berries.  I had blue berries in the mixture so it was a dark, deep color.  For the sauce on the lava cakes I wanted it more smooth without any chunks.  I boiled this for 10 to 12 minutes.  I only used raspberries so it would have a bright pink color.  I mashed the berries thoroughly which produced a smooth, thick sauce.    
   Pour it into a cute little sauce pitcher and off you go! Put some fresh berries out as well to accompany the sauce, or add them to the plate before serving.  This gives it a fresh organic feeling, with the deep flavor of the sauce.
