HOMEMADE BLUEBERRY SAUCE

Ingredients

  • 2 cups blueberries (fresh or frozen)
  • 1/4 cup cold water
  • 1/4 cup sugar or honey
  • 1 tablespoon + 1 teaspoon cornstarch
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice (lime juice is fine if lemon juice is not available)

 

Instructions

  • 1. Place blueberries in a small saucepan and pour in sugar (or honey).
  • 2. Mix the cornstarch in the cold water and pour over the blueberries and sugar. Bring to a boil over medium heat, turn heat down and let simmer 10 minutes.
  • 3. Remove saucepan from heat and add 1 tablespoon lemon juice and stir well.
  • 4. If you don't want the blueberries to be chunky, let them cook and place in a blender. Strain with a mesh strainer. This will render the blueberries to become a syrup instead of a sauce.
  • 5. Serve warm over french toast, waffles, ice cream, pancakes, etc.
