Description
Blueberry Sauce is easy to make with a handful of simple ingredients in 15 minutes. It’s the perfect thick, fruity syrup to add to breakfast or dessert.
Ingredients
- 2 1/2 cups blueberries, fresh or frozen, divided
- 1/2 cup water
- 1/3 cup sugar
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 tablespoon cornstarch
- 2 tablespoons water
Instructions
- In a medium saucepan, Add 1.5 cups blueberries, water, sugar, lemon juice, and vanilla extract. Cook on medium-high heat until the mixture comes to a boil. Reduce the heat to low and simmer for 5-7 minutes until the blueberries start to break apart, stirring constantly.
- In a small mixing bowl, whisk together cornstarch and water until smooth. Add the cornstarch slurry to the saucepan and stir constantly until thickened to a desired consistency, about 2-3 minutes. Note that the sauce will thicken more as it cools.
- Stir in the remaining 1 cup blueberries. Let the sauce cool to room temperature. Then, transfer the blueberry sauce to an airtight container and refrigerate overnight.
Notes
How to store: Leftover blueberry sauce will last for 5 days in the fridge when stored inside an airtight container.
How to reheat:
- Reheat in the microwave: In a microwave-safe dish, heat the blueberry sauce in 5-15 second intervals until hot, stirring in between each interval.
- Reheat on the stovetop: Heat blueberry sauce over medium heat, stirring frequently until warm. Add a splash of water if the sauce becomes too thick.
