OMG this sauce is so darn good!! I served it on german pancakes with blueberries. Upon adding the cornstarch mixture it began to thicken immediately so I only cooked it a total of 5-6 min not the 10 then 5-6. I wish I had doubled this recipe as I can see myself topping alot of things with it!! Thanks Kittencal for a recipe I will make again and again!
