Memorable Gingered Peaches And Blues Sauces

This peachy-blue sauce is all fruit, with no added sweeteners.

It doesn’t need them! Enjoy! Use prepared ginger juice, run fresh ginger through a juicer, or simply grate a large handful of shavings and squeeze. This fruity sauce is great in the morning over pancakes or French toast, mixed into cottage cheese for a tasty snack, or served over low-sugar vanilla ice cream or Rice Dream for dessert.

4 medium fresh, ripe peaches, peeled, pitted, and chopped
8 ounces (225 g) fresh blueberries
¼ cup (60 ml) pear nectar (or apple juice concentrate or water)
2 teaspoons ginger juice
¾ teaspoon dried ginger
2 tablespoons (30 g) minute tapioca

Yield: 3 to 4 cups (720 to 960 g)

In a slow cooker, combine all of the ingredients. Stir gently until well mixed. Cook, uncovered, on low for 4 to 5 hours, stirring occasionally, or until the sauce reaches the desired consistency.

Health Bite

Blueberries are a true “memory” food. Animal studies have demonstrated that daily consumption of blueberries dramatically slows impairments in motor coordination and memory. And they have one of the highest “ORAC” scores of all time, meaning they score high on a standardized test for antioxidant power.
