Ingredients

  • 4 cups blueberries, fresh or frozen (if frozen, do not thaw first)
  • ¼ cup water
  • ¼ cup granulated sugar, more or less to taste
  • 1 tablespoon cornstarch
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice

Instructions

  • Add blueberries, water, sugar, cornstarch, and lemon juice to a medium sized saucepan. Stir well.
    4 cups blueberries, fresh or frozen, ¼ cup water, ¼ cup granulated sugar, more or less to taste, 1 tablespoon cornstarch, 1 tablespoon lemon juice
  • Bring the mixture to a boil, and continue to boil for 2 to 3 minutes or until slightly thickened and clear.
  • Cool slightly before serving. Blueberry sauce can be refrigerated in a covered container for 4 to 5 days. Makes 3 cups.

Notes

  • Serving suggestions: Serve warm blueberry sauce on pancakes, waffles, or French toast. Try it as a topping on vanilla ice cream or pound cake. It can be stirred into oatmeal or plain yogurt. 
  • Storage: Cool the blueberry sauce to room temperature before covering and refrigerating. It will keep for at least four to five days. It can also be frozen for up to 3 months. Thaw overnight in the refrigerator. Reheat gently in the microwave or a saucepan, if desired.
  • Variations: Make the sauce with a mixture of berries (raspberries, blackberries, strawberries, blueberries). If you like, add ½ teaspoon ground cinnamon or ginger, or stir in finely minced fresh herbs, such as basil, lavender, mint, etc.
