Mixed Berry Sauce

This Mixed Berry Sauce is made with blackberries, raspberries and blueberries.  It has a wonderful balance of sweet and tart as well as a lovely texture from the slightly decomposed berries.

Whip it up and take it with you to a barbeque  to serve with store-bought pound cake (I won’t tell) and vanilla ice cream.  Make it Saturday morning and pour it over fluffy pancakes or even Greek yogurt.
