Berries are loaded with nutrients, but can it get any better than this warm sauce? Try it on our "Delicious High Protein Pancakes" (see our 'Wade In' Blog - they're easy and gluten free to boot!). This sauce is a yummy alternative to maple syrup on pancakes. Also great on yogurt, biscuits, etc.
2 1/2 cups fresh or frozen blueberries (not juice. We've used some blackberries w/ the blueberries too).
1/3 cup sugar
1/2 cup orange juice
1 tablespoon cornstarch
2 teaspoons lemon
1) Combine blueberries, sugar and 1/4 cup of the orange juice in medium-size saucepan. Warm mixture over moderate heat, stirring occasionally.
2) As berries heat, separately blend cornstarch into remaining orange juice, using back of a spoon to dissolve any lumps.
3) Increase heat under pan and bring sauce to a boil. Stir the cornstarch mixture again and then stir it into the fruit. Cook sauce at low boil for 1 minute, stirring constantly.
4) Remove pan from heat and stir in lemon juice. Cool sauce for 5-10 minutes before serving (it will thicken as it cools). Makes about 2 cups.
