Ingredients
- 3 cups fresh blueberries (frozen works too)
- 1/2 cup water
- 1/2 cup granulated white sugar
- 1 TBS fresh lemon juice
- 1 1/2 TBS cornstarch
- 1 1/2 TBS cold water
- 1 tsp lemon zest (optional)
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
Instructions
- Add the blueberries, water, sugar, and lemon juice into a medium sized pot. Heat over medium heat until the mixture starts to boil.
- Lower the temperature to medium low, and continue simmering for a couple minutes until the blueberries start to break apart, stirring occasionally.
- Stir together the cornstarch and cold water in a small bowl to make a slurry.
- Pour the slurry into the blueberry sauce and carefully stir it in to the mixture.
- Continue to cook for 4 to 6 minutes until the sauce reaches the desired consistency. (At least make sure the sauce will coat the back of a metal spoon).
- Remove from heat and stir in the lemon zest or vanilla extract, if desired.
- Allow to cool to room temperature (sauce will thicken as it cools), then transfer into a container with a lid and place in the fridge till needed, or serve immediately.
