Main Ingredients

  • 3 cups mixed berries fresh or frozen (e.g., blueberries, raspberries, blackberries)
  • 1/4 cup water
  • 2 tbsp honey or to taste (optional)
  • 1 tbsp cornstarch optional, for thickening

Instructions
 

  • In a saucepan over medium heat, combine the berries and water.
  • Cook the berries, stirring occasionally, until they start to break down and release their juices (about 10-15 minutes).
  • If using, stir in honey to sweeten and cornstarch to thicken. Cook for another 2-3 minutes until thickened.
  • Remove from heat and let cool slightly. Serve warm or cold with fry bread or as desired.

Notes

Traditionally, Wojapi doesn’t include sweeteners or thickeners. Feel free to skip honey and cornstarch for a more authentic version.
