Busy Bee Berry Sauce

2 Tbsp flour
Combine ingredients in a microwavable bowl. Stir lightly Microwave 10-11 minutes, stirring at 3-4 minute intervals. This recipe works equally well with fresh or frozen berries. Our family uses it on waffles, ice cream and in our pie and cobble recipes. It is also the key recipe for our yummy fruit pizza.
