Introduction

I use this on top of pancakes, but would be great in yogurt and other dishes. Also, you could use whatever berry that you have or like. I use this on top of pancakes, but would be great in yogurt and other dishes. Also, you could use whatever berry that you have or like.
Number of Servings: 4

Ingredients

    1 cup frozen blueberries, unthawed & unsweetened
    1/4 cup of agave nectar/syrup **
    1/4 cup water
    1 tsp. arrow root **

Tips

* agave nectar is good on the GI, but you could swap out with honey or maple syrup. Be aware the glycemic index is different for those.

** You could use a starch based binder, but arrowroot will keep the sauce clear. Items such as cornstarch will thicken, but will make it cloudy in appearance.


Directions

In a non-stick saucepan, add blueberries, water * agave nectar and stir.

On medium heat, bring to a boil and reduce to heat to low.
Let cook & reduce for about 4 minutes.
In a small cup, add a splash of water and arrow root. Stir together to make a slurry and add to berrie mixture.

Turn off heat. Serve warm with pancakes, but good cold in desserts.
