Bourbon Blue Aronia Berry Sauce

Ingredients

• 1 cup aronia berries
• 2 cups blueberries
• 1/4 cup brown sugar
• 3 tsp corn starch
• 1 tablespoon vanilla
• 1 cup bourbon
• 2 tablespoons water

Instructions

1. In a blender, mix the bourbon and aronia berries.
2. Pour the liquid into a heavy, medium-sized saucepan.
3. Add the blueberries and brown sugar.
4. Mix and bring to a boil over medium heat.
5. Turn the heat down and simmer for 20 minutes.
6. Meanwhile, in a separate bowl, mix the corn starch and water until smooth.
7. Slowly add a few tablespoons of the hot liquid into the corn starch mixture to temper it.
8. At the end of the 20 minutes, stir the corn starch mixture into the pan — it will thicken quickly.
9. Remove from heat and transfer the sauce into a canning jar.
