Blueberry Sauce

By á-24947

I have made this souce many times and my family absolutely loves it!

Ingredients

• 2 cups fresh or frozen blueberries
• 1/2 cup water
• 1/2 cup sugar
• 2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
• 2 tablespoons cornstarch, mixed with 2 tablespoons cold water
• 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
• Zest of 1 lemon (about 1 tablespoon)

Preparation

Step 1

1. In a saucepan over medium heat, combine the blueberries, 1/2 cup of water, sugar and lemon juice. Stir frequently, and bring to a low boil.
2. In a small bowl, mix the cornstarch with 2 tablespoons of cold water.
3. Slowly stir the corn starch into the blueberries, taking care not to crush the blueberries. Simmer until the homemade blueberry sauce is thick enough to coat the back of a metal spoon, about 5 minutes.
4. Remove from heat and gently stir in vanilla and lemon zest.
Notes:
- The amount of sugar that you use will depend on the sweetness of your berries, simply adjust the amount to suite your taste.
- If this sauce is too thick for you, slowly add in water until you reach the desired consistency.
- No lemons on hand? This homemade blueberry sauce recipe tastes really great with orange juice and zest.
