Blueberry Compote For Lemon Verbena Scented Pound Cake
Filed under: Dessert, Romantic Recipes.
 Description: This is a marvelous addition to my Lemon Verbena Scented Pound Cake (recipe on this site), but it makes a great sauce for ice cream alone, vanilla cake or a lemon tart. Ingredients: 1 quart fresh Maine blueberries (or, 24 ounces frozen dry-pack blueberries, frozen or thawed) 3/4 cup sugar 4 tablespoons of fresh lemon juice 2 tablespoons cool water 3 teaspoons of cornstarch Directions: Combine the berries, sugar, and lemon juice in a stainless steel saucepan. With medium heat, cook until the berries get soft and juice starts to run. Mix the water and cornstarch in a bowl and stir it quickly into the hot berries. Stir and cook until the mixture thickens. Allow to cool to room temperature. Spoon over Lemon Verbena Scented Pound Cake, add a scoop of vanilla ice cream, garnish with fresh lemon verbena sprigs and serve. Refrigerate remainder of compote.  Recipe Summary: Yield: 3 cups Prep Time: 5 min. Cook Time: 15 min.
