Vibrant and delicious, this sauce has no added sugar, so it's key to use the freshest, in-season ripe berries you can find for the sweetest flavor. This is an ideal sauce to decorate dessert plates or to serve drizzled over cake, ice cream, pancakes, or other fresh fruit. It may seem strange in this mix, but the tiny dose of salt really heightens the berry flavors, while the squeeze of fresh lemon juice brightens things up in a mouthwatering way. Store this sauce in a jar with a tight-fitting lid in the refrigerator up to 3 days or freeze it in a zippered freezer bag for up to 3 months.
