Scrumptious Homemade Berry Sauce

Need a great, healthy fruit topping for ice cream, yogurt, or pancakes?  Press some freshly picked or purchased berries into action....and avoid the high-fructose corn syrup, artificial colorings, and other additives found in commercial toppings.

My grandmother taught me this simple recipe.   It has a decidedly old-fashioned taste.   After fielding compliments, you'll surely have to pass it along to friends.

4 cups of fresh berries (blueberries, blackberies, rasperries, or other -- frozen will do, if it is winter!)
6 Tablespoons butter
4 Tablespooons of honey (or of brown sugar, if you'd like to be somewhat more decadent)

Put all ingredients in a saucepan, and stir until they melt into a sauce.   Heat until hot, then serve or put in refridgerator to store (it lasts a couple of weeks in the refrigerator).     Especially if you use healthy butter -- organic or pastured is best -- this makes for a nourishing sweet sauce, compared to many other topping options.
