Pomegranates and Blueberries are rich in protective anti-cancer anti-oxidant phytochemicals including pterostilbene from blueberries and punicalgin from pomegranates. The addition of herbs and spices adds more anti-oxidants and more support for normal inflammation control. Use this sauce on vegetables, grains, poultry, meats or in yogurt.
- 1 cup pomegranate juice
- 1 tablespoon finely chopped ginger

- 1 1/2 tablespoon honey
- 1/4 teaspoon ground cloves
- 4 1/2 cups frozen blueberries
- pinch of salt
- Juice of 1/2 a lemon
