Ingredients
  • 1 10 oz bag of FROZEN, ORGANIC berries (I like mixed, but you can use blueberry, strawberry, raspberry, blackberry, or cherry)
  • *I use frozen because the freezing process tends to bring out some of the juice in the berries, so you already have sort of a syrup started before you even start cooking.
  • 2 TBSPNs Ghee (or grass fed butter, or coconut oil)
  • 2 TBSPNs Maple Syrup (Start w/ 1 and taste to see if you’d like to add more)
  • Salt (optional)
  • Cinnamon (optional)
  • Vanilla Extract (optional)
Directions
  1. Take the berries from the freezer to start to thaw. (Thawing fully takes about 30 minutes.) If you are a planner or very patient, you can wait for them to completely thaw, but I never do.
  2. In a large sauté pan over low to medium heat, add the butter. As it melts toss the berries right on top. The butter will continue to melt as the berries warm. Go ahead and add the maple syrup as well at this point.
  3. When the berries are no longer frozen, take a potato masher (or fork) and begin to gently mash the berries. Just a little bit to get some of the juices to run and to make the berries all about the same size.
  4. Once it comes to a bubble, let it simmer for a few minutes for the flavors to come together. Taste it for sweetness. Sometimes I add a pinch of salt, a dash of cinnamon, and a dash of vanilla extract. It depends on how festive I feel.
