Berry-Cherry Peach Sauce

Recipe Description

If you like your ice cream, pancakes, waffles, or French toast with a little extra oomph, you’ll love this Berry-Cherry Peach Sauce! It is a quick, simple, easy and my absolute favorite recipe for local summer berries and fruits. Made with orange juice instead of water, this sauce features a beautiful citrus flavor that pairs so well with peaches, blueberries, and cherries. Plus, the sweetness of fresh orange juice allows you to cut down on the sugar you add. 

This recipe is incredibly easy to make, and it works pretty well with frozen fruits, too. Combine the sliced peaches, pitted and halved cherries, and blueberries with orange juice and sugar in a large saucepan. Cook, stirring, until the sugar is dissolved. Then bring the mixture to a boil. Once at a boil, reduce the heat and simmer, uncovered, until the peaches are tender. Make a slurry by whisking a tablespoon of cornstarch into a tablespoon of orange juice until smooth, then mix it into the hot fruit mixture. Cook for a few minutes until the sauce is thickened. Serve the sauce over scoops of vanilla ice cream or just about anything else. Enjoy!  

To make the Berry-Cherry Peach Sauce, you will need the following ingredients:

J'ai essayé cette sauce aux fruits cet été avec mes enfants, et c'était exceptionnel ! Facile à préparer, on a adoré l'ajout de jus d'orange. Cela a donné une touche fraîche à nos crêpes du dimanche. Mes enfants ont demandé de le refaire chaque semaine !
