Blueberry Sauce

Instructions

1

Combine ingredients

In a medium saucepan, combine blueberries, sugar, and lemon juice. Stir to mix.

Pro tip: Use a wooden spoon to combine the ingredients evenly.

2

Heat the mixture

Place the saucepan over medium heat. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the blueberries release their juices and the sugar dissolves, about 5 minutes.

Pro tip: If using frozen blueberries, cooking time may be slightly longer.

3

Thicken the sauce

In a small bowl, mix cornstarch and water until smooth. Add to the blueberry mixture.

Pro tip: Ensure the cornstarch is fully dissolved in water to avoid lumps.

4

Simmer the sauce

Bring the mixture to a gentle boil, then reduce the heat to low. Simmer, stirring constantly, until the sauce thickens, about 2-3 minutes.

Pro tip: The sauce should coat the back of a spoon when ready.

5

Cool and serve

Remove the saucepan from heat and let the sauce cool slightly before serving. Serve warm or chilled.

Pro tip: For a smoother sauce, blend it with an immersion blender before cooling.
