Orange Blueberry Sauce

Along with the waffles, which I posted the recipe for yesterday, we had an Orange-Blueberry Sauce which I made the night before.

This is a great sauce to serve on waffles and pancakes. It also works well on top of raw cheesecake and ice cream!

It’s not difficult to make, you just have to be patient enough to allow the liquid to reduce and thicken.

Conclusion

This is yummy stuff! I had some left over, so I’ll probably make ice cream in the near future!

Enjoy!

Ingredients

8 oz blueberries, fresh

1 cup orange juice, fresh squeezed

1 tablespoon Coconut Secret Coconut Nectar

1 tablespoon maple syrup, organic

1 teaspoon orange peel, grated

1⁄8 teaspoon cinnamon, ground

1⁄4 teaspoon ginger, ground

1⁄4 teaspoon vanilla extract

Bring mixture to a boil, stirring often.

Reduce heat to simmer and cook mixture for 15 minutes.

Add butter to pan.

Notes

This sauce isn’t super sweet. It has a bit of tartness to it which makes it a nice accompaniment for sweeter desserts.

Sauce can be served warm or cold.
