MEMORABLE GINGERED PEACH AND BLUES SAUCE

FROM DR. JONNY: So I was thinking to myself, what’s the one food that I really do eat on a daily basis that I couldn’t imagine living without? I didn’t have to look far for the answer: blueberries. I have at least one bowl of frozen blueberries right out of the freezer sprinkled with coconut flakes and tamari almonds and covered with almond milk every single day. It’s my ultimate treat, and I love it more than even ice cream. 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. This peachy-blue sauce is all fruit, with no added sweeteners. It doesn’t need them! Enjoy!

INGREDIENTS

4 medium fresh, ripe peaches, peeled, pitted, and chopped

8 ounces (225 g) fresh blueberries

1/4 cup (60 ml) pear nectar (or apple juice concentrate or water)

2 teaspoons ginger juice

3/4 teaspoon dried ginger

2 tablespoons (30 g) minute tapioca

Combine all the ingredients in a slow cooker and stir gently until well mixed. Cook, uncovered, on low for 4 to 5 hours, stirring occasionally, until the sauce reaches the desired consistency.

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

FROM CHEF JEANNETTE

Use prepared ginger juice, run fresh ginger through a juicer, or simply grate a large handful of shavings and squeeze.

Serving Suggestions: 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.
