Notes
Fresh berries: If you're using fresh berries, reduce the stewing time by half and add 1/4 cup of water to prevent them from burning.
Thicken sauce: You can thicken the sauce by adding a cornstarch slurry or using a little arrowroot powder. Alternatively, add 2 tbsp of chia seeds which will thicken the sauce as they gel up.
Storage: Stewed berries can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up a week. To freeze the stewed fruit, let it cool completely before transferring it to airtight freezer containers. It can be frozen for up to 3 months.
