Finish and Cool
Add a cinnamon stick or a pinch of ground nutmeg to the saucepan along with the berries for a warm, spiced flavor.

Substitute the granulated sugar with an equal amount of pure maple syrup for a richer, more complex sweetness.
For a natural, fiber-rich thickener, skip the cornstarch and stir in 1-2 tablespoons of chia seeds after removing the sauce from the heat. Let it sit for 15 minutes to thicken.

Absolutely! This recipe works wonderfully with just strawberries, blueberries, raspberries, or blackberries. Cooking times may vary slightly depending on the berry.
Yes, you can omit the sugar for a more tart, fruit-forward sauce. The natural sweetness of the berries will shine through. You may want to use very ripe, sweet berries if you choose this option.

Let the sauce cool completely, then transfer it to an airtight container or jar. It can be stored in the refrigerator for up to one week or frozen for up to three months.
