Strawberry/Berry Sauce


As I've mentioned before, I used to work at a local Bed & Breakfast. We often made a delicious Berry Sauce to go on top of our crepes. Well, I decided it was so yummy that it could also easily go on cheesecake, pancakes, oatmeal, in lemonade, on angel food cake, you name it, it was tasty on top of it! Here's the basic recipe for it..you can use any kind of berry for this recipe.

Here's how ya do it--

1 lb of frozen berries--it can be strawberries, blueberries, raspberries, mixed berries, whatever!
1-2 TBS karo syrup
a drop or 2 of food coloring-red for strawberries, blue for blueberries, you get the idea!
1/4 C orange juice
1/4 C Sugar

Over low heat in a small sauce heat your berries and the karo syrup. Slowly start to smash them with a potato masher as they warm up. Stir in the food coloring, juice and sugar. Keep mashing until you get your desired consistency. Serve warm.

This recipe stores well in the fridge or freezer.

Just curious, why the food coloring? It doesn't add anything to the flavor?

The food coloring gives it a more rich color. It does nothing to the flavor.
