BLUEBERRY AND GRAND MARNIER SAUCE
Steps:
- In a small saucepa, bring blueberries to a simmer with a little water if fresh or as is if frozen. Stir in coriander seed and orange zest plus juice of half of the mandarin, pinch of salt, Grand Marnier and lime leaves.

COEUR A LA CREME WITH RASPBERRY AND GRAND MARNIER SAUCE
Steps:
- Place the cream cheese and confectioners' sugar in the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with the paddle attachment and beat on high speed for 2 minutes. Scrape down the beater and bowl with a rubber spatula and change the beater for the whisk attachment. With the mixer on low speed, add the heavy cream, vanilla, lemon zest, and vanilla bean seeds and beat on high speed until the mixture is very thick, like whipped cream.
- Line a 7-inch sieve with cheesecloth or paper towels so the ends drape over the sides and suspend it over a bowl, making sure that there is space between the bottom of the sieve and the bottom of the bowl for the liquid to drain. Pour the cream mixture into the cheesecloth, fold the ends over the top, and refrigerate overnight.
- To serve, discard the liquid, unmold the cream onto a plate, and drizzle Raspberry and Grand Marnier Sauce around the base. Serve with raspberries and extra sauce.
- Place raspberries, sugar, and 1/4 cup water in a small saucepan. Bring to a boil, lower the heat, and simmer for 4 minutes. Pour the cooked raspberries, the jam, and orange liqueur into the bowl of a food processor fitted with the steel blade and process until smooth. Chill.
EASY BLUEBERRY COULIS
Traditionally coulis is simmered in its own juices to thicken, but I wanted to speed up the process and went with cornstarch. The Grand Marnier® adds just a hint of orange flavor. This is great with cheesecake, drizzled over yogurt, or ice cream.

Steps:
- Combine first 4 ingredients and 2 tablespoons Grand Marnier in processor. Blend until smooth. Taste and add more Grand Marnier, if desired. Transfer mixture to bowl and refrigerate until cold, about one hour. (Can be prepared 1 day ahead. Keep refrigerated.)
- Divide fruit among 8 stemmed goblets. Top with sauce and serve.
Tips:
- Use fresh blueberries for the best flavor. Frozen blueberries can also be used, but they should be thawed and drained before cooking.
- If you don't have Grand Marnier, you can substitute another orange-flavored liqueur, such as Cointreau or triple sec.
- Be careful not to overcook the blueberries, as they will become mushy. Cook them just until they are softened and have released their juices.
- Serve the sauce warm or at room temperature. It can be used as a topping for pancakes, waffles, french toast, or ice cream.
- If you want a thicker sauce, you can add a cornstarch slurry, which is a mixture of cornstarch and water. Bring the sauce to a simmer, then add the slurry and cook until the sauce has thickened.
Conclusion:
Blueberry and Grand Marnier sauce is a delicious and versatile sauce that can be used in a variety of ways. It is perfect for topping pancakes, waffles, french toast, or ice cream. It can also be used as a filling for cakes or pies. The sauce is easy to make and can be made ahead of time, making it a great option for busy weeknights.
