Ingredients

2 cups frozen mixed berries (strawberries, blueberries, raspberries)
2 tablespoons maple syrup
1 tablespoon lemon juice
1 teaspoon cornstarch mixed with 1 tablespoon water (optional, for thicker sauce)

Instructions

In a small saucepan, combine frozen berries, maple syrup, and lemon juice.
Cook over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until berries thaw and release their juices, about 5 minutes.
If desired, stir in cornstarch slurry and cook for another 2-3 minutes until thickened.
Remove from heat and let cool slightly before serving.

Tips

Store leftover topping in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 1 week.
Serve warm or at room temperature over oatmeal, pancakes, waffles, or yogurt.
For a less sweet version, reduce maple syrup to 1 tablespoon.
