Chilli blueberry sauce

Author: Flavelo
Recipes Sauces and Gravies
This sauce is proof that opposites attract. The tart sweetness of blueberry and the heat of chilli create a complex flavour profile together, which pairs excellently with fatty meats (duck, game) or fried cheeses (Camembert). The fruit's natural gelling agent (pectin) ensures perfect consistency.

Ingredients

Equipment Needed

  • Small saucepan: For cooking.
  • Stick blender: If you like it smooth.

Instructions

1 ✓

Put the blueberries, sugar, orange juice, and chilli in the saucepan. Start heating.

Tip: Sugar draws water out of the fruit, so it releases juice faster. [Osmosis.]
2 ✓

Cook over medium heat for approx. 10-15 minutes until the blueberries burst and the liquid thickens.

Tip: Blueberries are high in pectin, which forms a natural gel in an acidic environment (orange juice) and presence of sugar.
3 ✓

Stir in the cinnamon and cloves in the last few minutes.

Tip: Warm spices highlight the fruitiness.
4 ✓

Let cool. If you like it smooth, blend it, but leaving it chunky is more rustic.

Tip: It solidifies a lot while cooling, factor this in!

Recipe FAQ

It stayed too runny, what should I do?
Cook it longer. As it cools, it will thicken further due to pectin, like jam.
