How to use

Notes

  • As a guideline use 1 tablespoon of starch* to thicken 1 cup liquid. Note, when using frozen berries the juice may thin down the sauce and the starch will need to be adjusted slightly.
  • Apple juice is a neutral flavored sweetener for most fruits.
  • Depending on which berries or fruit used, some are naturally sweeter while others are more tart. Depending where you are on your sweet tooth journey, you may want to add a tablespoon or two of your favorite sweetener.
