Equipment

Ingredients

  • 3 cups blueberries
  • ½ cup sugar granulated
  • ½ cup water
  • 3 tablespoon lemon juice
  • 1 tablespoon lemon zest
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • ⅛ teaspoon salt or to taste
  • 2 tablespoon cornstarch

Instructions

  • Simmer: Add the blueberries, sugar, water, lemon juice and zest, vanilla, and salt to a saucepan over medium heat. Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce the heat to a simmer. Cook for 2-3 minutes.
  • Thicken: Whisk the cornstarch with a splash of water to create a slurry. Stir the slurry into the sauce and let it thicken for 1-2 minutes.
  • Finish: Remove the pot from the heat and transfer the sauce to a bowl or jars. You can serve the sauce warm or refrigerate it for 1 hour to serve it cold.

Notes

  1. Recipe yields about 3 cups of blueberry sauce. 
  2. Nutritional information is per 1/4 cup of sauce.
  3. I like to keep my homemade sauces in a sealable airtight jar to help them stay fresh as long as possible. Your blueberry sauce will last up to 1 week stored in the fridge.
