Blueberry Sauce
Ingredients:
½ | cup water (divided) |
3 | tablespoons cornstarch |
2 | cups fresh or frozen blueberries |
1 | cup orange juice |
¾ | cup white sugar |
1 | tablespoon butter |
½ | teaspoon almond extract |
⅛ | teaspoon cinnamon |
Mix together cornstarch and ¼ cup of cold water. Set aside. In a saucepan over medium heat, combine the blueberries, ¼ cup of water, orange juice, and sugar. Bring to a boil. Stir in the cornstarch slurry, and simmer gently until thick enough to coat the back of a metal spoon (about 3 to 4 minutes). Remove from heat and stir in butter, almond extract, and cinnamon. Thin sauce with more water if too thick.
