Berry & Spice Syrup

At our house, when you ask Fearless the days of the week, he'll tell you: Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, Friday, Pancake Day, Sunday.

This Pancake Day, we were out of our usual maple syrup, so I made this sauce instead.  T-Man told me that from now on, we should skip the maple, and just make this stuff every week. 

I think he might be right.

This would taste great over french toast or maybe even angel food cake too.

Berry & Spice Sauce

1/2 cup sugar
1 Tablespoon cornstarch
1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
1/2 cup water
2 cups fresh or frozen mixed berries (I used a frozen mixture of blueberries, raspberries, strawberries, and blackberries)

In a saucepan, combine sugar, cornstarch, cinnamon and nutmeg.  Gradually stir in water until smooth.  Bring to a boil; cook and stir for 1 minute or until thickened.  Stir in berries; return to a boil.  Reduce heat; cook and stir for 5 minutes.  Serve warm.
