Berry Sauce for Syrniki

1. 1 Mixed berries (frozen)pack 300 g ≈ $3.50 200 g
2. 2 Sugarpack 1 kg ≈ $1.60 40 g
3. 3 Starch 5 g
4. 4 Lemon≈ $4.70 per kg 5 g

Grey items are salt, spices and anything under 30 g per jar: you usually have them at home, so they are not in the jar price. Sugar, vinegar and oil from 30 g are counted.

Method

1. Mix 5 g starch with 20 ml cold water until smooth.

2. Put 200 g frozen berries in a small saucepan, add 40 g sugar² and 5 g lemon⁴ juice. Heat over medium heat for 3 minutes, until the berries release their juice.

3. Pour in the starch mixture in a thin stream, stirring constantly.

4. Cook for another 2 minutes until thickened; the sauce should turn glossy.

5. Remove from the heat and lightly mash the berries with a fork if you want a smoother texture. Cool until warm.

6. Transfer to a clean 0.25 l jar and close with a lid. Store in the refrigerator for up to 10 days.
