Homemade Blueberry Sauce

Ingredients

• 2 cups (290 grams) fresh or frozen blueberries
• 1/3 cup (65 grams) granulated sugar
• 1/4 cup (60 ml) water
• 2 teaspoons fresh lemon juice
• 1 tablespoon (8 grams) cornstarch + 2 tablespoons (30 ml) cold water

Instructions

1. 1

   Add the blueberries, sugar, 1/4 cup water, and lemon juice to a medium-sized saucepan and stir until well combined. Place the saucepan over medium heat and allow to cook for 7-10 minutes or until the blueberries start to soften and release their juices.

2. 2

   In a small bowl, whisk together the cornstarch and 2 tablespoons of cold water. Add to the saucepan and stir until well combined. Allow the sauce to cook for an additional 3-4 minutes, stirring often, until the sauce has thickened.

3. 3

   Remove from the heat and carefully pour into a heat-safe container. Cool completely at room temperature, then cover tightly and store in the refrigerator until ready to use.
