Honey Blueberry Sauce

Ingredients

• 2 cups blueberries (fresh or frozen)
• 1/4 cup honey (or sugar)
• 2 tablespoons water
• 1/2 tbsp fresh lemon juice
• 1/2 tsp cornstarch ( + 1 tbsp water optional for thickening)
• 1/2 tsp vanilla extract ( or ground cinnamon)

Instructions

1. 1

   Pour the blueberries, honey, water, and lemon juice into a medium-sized saucepan. Place it on medium heat and gently stir to combine the ingredients.

2. 2

   Cook the mixture for about 5-7 minutes, occasionally stirring, until the blueberries start to soften and create a natural juice.

3. 3

   In a separate small bowl, whisk together 1/2 tsp of cornstarch and 1 tbsp of water to create a slurry. Incorporating this is optional but recommended if you prefer a thicker sauce.

4. 4

   Next, add the vanilla extract or ground cinnamon into the mixture. Following this, add the cornstarch slurry (optional), ensuring you stir continuously to avoid any lumps forming.

5. 5

   Allow the honey blueberry sauce to simmer for about 2-3 minutes more or until the sauce reaches your preferred consistency.

6. 6

   Remove the saucepan from heat and let the honey blueberry sauce cool slightly before serving. Add it to your chosen dish to experience the fresh blueberry flavor paired with the subtle sweetness of honey. Enjoy!
