Warm Blueberry Sauce for Pancakes

ngredients

• 2 1/2 cups fresh or individually frozen blueberries (not in juice)
• 1/3 cup sugar (can use Splenda for a sugar-free version)
• 1/2 cup orange juice

• 1 tablespoon cornstarch
• 2 teaspoons lemon juice

Instructions

1. Combine the blueberries, sugar, and 1/4 cup of the orange juice in a medium-size saucepan. Warm the mixture over moderate heat, stirring it occasionally.
   
2. While the berries heat, blend the cornstarch into the remaining orange juice, using the back of a spoon to dissolve any lumps.
   
3. Increase the heat under the pan and bring the sauce to a boil. Stir the cornstarch mixture again and then stir it into the fruit. Cook the sauce at a low boil for 1 minute, stirring constantly.
   
4. Remove the pan from the heat and stir in the lemon juice. Cool the sauce for 5 to 10 minutes before serving (it will thicken as it cools). Makes about 2 cups.
