Blueberry Orange Sauce

This sauce takes only minutes to make. It is delicious on pancakes, waffles, ice-cream and yogurt.

Make your own yogurt parfait, by layering yogurt, granola, sliced bananas, or strawberries, yogurt and the sauce.

Ingredients:

3 cups of wild blueberries (fresh or frozen)
1/2 cup of water
1/2 cup of fresh orange juice
1/3 cup white sugar or sugar substitute
1 1/2 TBS cornstarch, mixed with 3 TBS water
1 tsp lemon juice
pinch of cinnamon
1 TBS maple syrup (optional)

Method:

In a small sauce pan, add the water, orange juice, and sugar.  Heat on medium heat till the sugar dissolves. Add the blueberries and bring to a medium boil. Stir gently for 1 minute. Add the cornstarch and water mixture while it is boiling, stir, and then reduce the heat to a simmer. The sauce will thicken quickly.  Cook another 2-3 minutes. Remove from the heat and add the lemon juice and pinch of cinnamon.  Taste for sweetness and add the tablespoon of maple syrup or a bit more sugar if needed.

Pour into jars, or a bowl and cool at room temperature. Then refrigerate.
