This easy low-sugar three-berry syrup is ideal for almond meal pancakes or as a dessert sauce for cheesecake, pound cake, low-carb ice cream, snow pudding, and so much more. It features nutrient-dense berries, which are low in fat, carbs, and calories. Rich in antioxidants, these yummy nuggets of flavor may also help prevent cancer and heart disease and slow the aging process. Berries are loaded with vitamins, minerals, and fiber. For example, 1 cup of sliced strawberries contains a whole day's requirement for vitamin C. A cup of blackberries contains a day's worth of manganese, while the same amount of raspberries supplies a third of our daily niacin needs. Blueberries and strawberries are even surprisingly good sources of vitamin E. And they all contain between 4 and 9 grams of fiber per cup. This low-sugar berry syrup or sauce can be made with fresh or frozen berries, in any proportions you like. To keep it simple, you could just make it using a bag of mixed frozen blueberries, raspberries, and blackberries. If you use frozen berries, make sure there is no sugar added. Ingredients 1 cup blueberries 1 cup raspberries 1 cup blackberries 1/2 cup water 1 packet stevia Preparation Put the fresh or frozen blueberries, raspberries, blackberries, water, stevia, and a pinch of salt in a saucepan and bring to a boil. The berries will begin to break down as soon as the boiling begins. After 5 minutes, turn off heat and mash with a potato masher or fork to help break down the larger berries. Boil for another 2 minutes to combine. Remove from heat. The mixture will thicken as it cools. Once the sauce is cooled, you can serve immediately on top of your favorite dessert or refrigerate for up to two weeks. Rate this Recipe You've already rated this recipe. Thanks for your rating!
