The BEST Berry Sauce Recipe (Rote Grütze)

Rote Grütze is the perfect, light summer dessert for the best berry sauce! It's made from flavorful ripe berries that are simmered with some juice, vanilla bean, and cinnamon. The spices bring out the rich red fruit flavors.

Serve with vanilla ice cream because, in my opinion, there isn't much that’s more satisfying when you're craving something refreshing and sweet at the same time. If you would like to make rote Grütze during the colder months, frozen mixed berries are an option, although using fresh, ripe berries makes your Grütze taste much better!

It's also incredible over homemade German waffles or German pancakes.
