Grandpa's Blueberry Sauce

This wasn't invented by Grandpa, but he likes it - and it can be frozen so Grandma doesn't poison him with outdated stuff ...

You can pour it over waffles, cake or ice cream or whatever ...

• 2 cups fresh or frozen blueberries
• 1/4 cup water
•  3/4 cups sugar
• 1 cup orange juice
• 2 tablespoons cornstarch
• 1/4 cup cold water
• 1/4 tsp almond extract
• 1/8 tsp cinnamon

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. In a cup or small bowl, mix together the cornstarch and 1/4 cup cold water. Gently stir the cornstarch mixture into the blueberries so as not to mash the berries. Simmer gently until thick enough to coat the back of a metal spoon, 3 to 4 minutes. Remove from heat and stir in the almond extract and cinnamon. Thin sauce with water if it is too thick for your liking.
