Blueberry Sauce Supreme(For Diabetics)
A delicious, naturally sweet blueberry sauce with a hint of orange, perfect for diabetics and a healthy topping for pancakes or waffles.
Ingredients
Instructions
- In a saucepan, combine Splenda, orange juice concentrate, and cornstarch. Stir until smooth.
- Add blueberries and bring to a boil.
- Boil for 2 minutes, stirring constantly.
Tips & Substitutions
For a thicker sauce, increase the cornstarch slightly, or reduce the liquid by simmering longer. You can substitute Splenda with other diabetic-friendly sweeteners like erythritol or stevia, but be mindful of the sweetness level as they vary. Fresh blueberries yield the best flavor, but frozen ones work well too; just ensure they are thawed and drained before cooking.
Serving Suggestions
Serve this blueberry sauce over pancakes or waffles for a delightful breakfast, or as a topping for Greek yogurt for a healthy snack. It pairs beautifully with No Bake Orange Balls for a sweet treat. You can also drizzle it over grilled chicken or pork for a deliciously unique twist.
Storage & Reheating
Store leftover blueberry sauce in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to one week. To reheat, gently warm it in a saucepan over low heat, stirring occasionally until heated through. If the sauce thickens too much, add a splash of water or orange juice concentrate to loosen it up.
