• In a small bowl, combine the cornstarch and cold water and stir until the cornstarch is completely dissolved, then stir into the berry mixture along with the lemon juice and bring to a boil. Boil for 1 minute, or until the mixture thickens slightly.
• Remove the syrup from the heat and let it cool for a few minutes before serving on pancakes, waffles, French toast, or ice cream. Enjoy!
