Blueberry Topping

1 cup of frozen blueberries
1 tsp of cornstarch
1 tbsp of cold water.
Heat the frozen blueberries in a small saucepan over medium heat until hot. There will be juice in the bottom of the pan. Don’t boil them! In a small bowl mix the cold water and cornstarch. Add to the pan and stir until the mixture thickens up – about 30 seconds. This is a great topping over pancakes, or use as the base of a crumble. 1 serving

Easy Apple Cranberry Topping

Ingredients:

* 1 medium apple (your favorite), chopped
* 1 tablespoon dried cranberries
* 1/2 tsp cinnamon
* 1 tsp brown sugar
* 1/2 tsp butter
* 1 tablespoon of water
* 1 tsp cornstarch
* 2+ tablespoons cold water

In a small skillet, melt the butter and brown sugar together over medium heat. Add the apple, cranberries, and cinnamon. Saute for a couple minutes, then add the 1 tablespoon of water and cover. Cook for 2 to 3 minutes. In a small bowl, mix the cornstarch with 2 tablespoons of cold water. Add to the skillet. Stir constantly for about 30 seconds until the sauce becomes clear and tightens up. You can add a little more water if it seems too dry. Calories for this dish will depend a little on the size of the apple. On average, an apple is 60 calories for a medium, 1 tbsp of dried cranberries (10 g) is 30 calories, brown sugar 15 calories, butter 15 calories, cornstarch 10. So you can figure about 130 calories or so for this batch. I consider it one serving.
