This turned out very good and easy. I cut in half and used arrowroot powder. I used frozen strawberries (with a few blackberries) and smashed them pretty small. Didn't have maple syrup, but it was still good.

I used splenda and frozen berries and this was a great berry sauce. I thought it was much better warm, so we just warmed it back up when we needed it. Easy and a great way to use up all the extra frozen strawberries I seem to find in my freezer!
