Instructions
- The first step in making wojapi sauce is to prepare your berries. The most commonly used fresh berries are strawberries, blueberries, raspberries, and chokecherries.
- To remove dirt or other things from the berries, rinse them well under cold water. In a medium pot, combine the berries with 1/2 cup of water. Before putting the chokecherries in the pot, you might need to remove the pits.
- Once your veggies are ready, it's time to cook them. Set the pan on medium heat. After adding the water and berries, stir them well. To break up the berries, use a potato masher or fork.
- Once the berries are soft and juicy, continue to cook them on low heat for another 10 to 15 minutes, stirring occasionally.
- Now it's time to thicken the sauce. In a small bowl, whisk 2 tablespoons cornstarch or flour with 1/4 cup cold water. Add the slurry to the sauce to thicken it.
- Stir the slurry continuously throughout the cooking process to prevent lumps from forming. Over medium-low heat, keep stirring the sauce until it becomes thick and shiny.
- The sauce can now be sweetened with 2 tablespoons of honey or sugar. Alternatively, you can add 1/2 teaspoon of cinnamon and a pinch of salt. Be sure to mix everything well.
- If you want a smoother sauce without any berry bits, strain the wojapi sauce through a fine-mesh sieve or cheesecloth. In this way, lumps will be removed and the sauce will be smoother and more even.
- To strain the sauce, place the cheesecloth or sieve over a bowl. You can squeeze as much liquid out of the solids by pressing them against a cheesecloth or sieve.
