Balsamic Berry Sauce

After dinner, start the warm berry sauce about 10 minutes before you want to serve dessert. Remove the ice cream from the freezer about five minutes before you plan to scoop it to give it time to soften a bit. 10-ounce bag frozen mixed berries

3 tablespoons balsamic vinegar

1 teaspoon cornstarch

In a small saucepan over medium heat, combine the berries and balsamic vinegar. Bring to a simmer and cook, stirring often, five minutes, or until the berries become a liquid.

In a small glass, combine the cornstarch with 2 tablespoons cold water. Add this mixture to the berries and cook, stirring constantly, until the sauce thickens. Let cool for several minutes, then drizzle over ice cream.

Start to finish: 10 minutes.

Makes: 1½ cups
