Perfect! I used frozen blueberries and left out the cardamom and Grand Marnier and it was still exactly what I needed to top my cheesecake. Thanks!

Excellent recipe...so easy to prepare. Phenomenal paring of fresh berries and Grand Marnier. Thanks, Rita for sharing!

I finally found something I liked using Grand Marnier in!!!! Very easy to make and it tasted great. I used Clear Jel, which is a modified food starch (powdered form) that will not break down in high heat instead of the corn starch. Clear Jell makes your recipes cleaner and thicker and simply delicious. Thank you for posting. I made for *Zaar World Tour 4* 2008 round 3 the *Canada Region* for the *Zaar World Tour in Canada Challenge* I took Day 1 – Halifax, Nova Scotia and blueberries. I'm playing on the team *Tastebud Tickling Travelers*

This went together lightning fast! Tart and full of subtle flavors. We serve it over lemon pound cake with Cool Whip on top. Delicious. Can't wait to try it on pancakes! I used a whole cadamom pod instead of ground and added slightly more cinnamon than called for (maybe 1/2 t). Wonderful! made for Daffy Daffodils ZWT4

Delicious! I didn't add the cardamom, and I used bottled lemon juice (and no lemon zest) as this is what I had on hand.. this sauce went perfectly with the whole wheat pancakes I made. Will make again thanks for sharing!
