Orange-Kissed Blueberry Compote
  1. 1

    In a saucepan over medium heat, combine the blueberries, 1/4 cup of water, orange juice, and sugar; stir gently and bring to a boil.

  2. 2

    In a cup or small bowl, mix the cornstarch with 1/4 cup cold water; gently stir this mixture into the blueberries to avoid crushing the berries.

  3. 3

    Simmer gently until it is thick enough to coat the back of a metal spoon, 3 to 4 minutes.

  4. 4

    Remove from the heat and stir in the almond extract and cinnamon.

  5. 5

    If the sauce is too thick for your taste, thin it with water.
