How To Make Warm Berry Sauce

This warm berry sauce is the perfect thick and sweet (but not too sweet) sauce for on top of pancakes, waffles, parfaits, or even on vanilla ice cream!

This is one of my staple recipes that I use for so many things. We adore this for on top of cheesecake as well as for Saturday morning pancakes! I love that it’s not sickly sweet but still has a hint of tartness from the berries. Many berry sauces I find are way too sweet, especially combined with the additional maple syrup to top pancakes. This sauce is the perfect balance of sweetness and tartness that even your children will love and appreciate.

Try this warm berry sauce on these fluffy high-protein pancakes for a fun Saturday morning breakfast with the fam!
