This recipe is truly Canadian, Blueberries and Maple syrup. This sauce tastes just like blueberry pie filling and is   really healthy. Use this sauce on plain cheesecake, pancakes or whatever strikes your fancy.

I am a true Canadian and I love winter. Snow makes me feel like nine years old again. I love snowboarding, cross-country skiing, sliding, skating, building snowmen, building snow forts and shoveling. I can’t forget to mention how truly beautiful snow is.

I always have frozen blueberries in my freezer, I used to pick enough to last me the winter but now I buy them.

Frozen blueberries ( wild Canadian)

Maple syrup

Arrowroot flour (or substitute cornstarch or tapioca starch)

Water

Optional: lemon juice, lemon zest, cardamom, cinnamon and nutmeg

In a pot, lightly coat berries with maple syrup and bring to a light boil. Add lemon and spices, if using. In a small bowl mix egual amounts of water and arrowroot flour. Add a little at a time to the sauce and stir. The sauce should thicken.

Serve hot.
