Blueberry Grand Marnier Sauce Recipe

I was messing around in the kitchen on my 20 year old's birthday. She wanted plain cheesecake with strawberry topping, but my husband's not a big fan of strawberries. He is however a fan of Grand Marnier, a French liqueur with a slight citrus taste. And he likes blueberries. So I created this for him to top his cheesecake with - it also ended up as a topping for ice cream and pancakes and, well you get the idea.

 Blueberry Grand Marnier Sauce Recipe

 Ingredients:

•  1 1/2 cup blueberries (I used Dole frozen Wild Blueberries)
• 1/3 cup white sugar
• 1/2 tsp butter
• 1 TBSP lemon juice
• 2 TBSP Grand Marnier
• 1/2 TBSP cornstarch

Directions

1. Put the blueberries, sugar, butter and lemon juice in a pot about 3 or 4 times as large as the ingredients (it tends to expand as it cooks). Put on medium heat and bring it to a simmer. Simmer10 minutes. 
2. Turn the heat up to high and bring the mixture to a boil. Boil 3 minutes. 
3. Remove from heat. Add Grand Marnier. Using a sifter or a fine mesh strainer, sift the corn starch into the mixture while stirring so that the corn starch doesn't lump.
4. Allow it to cool (should take about 20 minutes). Then pour on whatever you want.
