Blueberry Sauce

June 27, 2015 By Mihaela K. Sebrek Leave a Comment

I love blueberries, I love them so much, that I decided to plant a few of them in my yard. They are very challenging to grow here since they require acidic soil, much water, and sun/shade position, etc. For now, all requirements are fulfilled, and hopefully next year I will have at least one little container of homegrown blueberries ( fingers crossed).

This recipe can be made year-round since this blueberry sauce can be made with either fresh or frozen blueberries. This time I experimented a bit and added 1/2 tsp of almond extract (homemade, since here in Croatia it is almost impossible to find it in stores 🙁 ). The almond flavor enhances the blueberry flavor–AMAZING!!! Or you can go with classic – vanilla extract. Either way, this blueberry sauce is fantastic.

Try it with my Kaiserschmarn- Austrian Torn Pancakes recipe – delicious!

*Tip: Don’t serve it right away. Leave it to cool for 30 mins to 1 hour, and then reheat it. Flavors needed to settle and it will taste totally different.
