Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups blueberries (fresh or frozen)
- 0.25 cups granulated sugar
- 0.5 cups water
- 1 tablespoons cornstarch
- 1 teaspoons lemon juice (freshly squeezed)
- 0.5 teaspoons lemon zest (optional)
- 0.5 teaspoons vanilla extract
Instructions
In a medium saucepan, combine the blueberries, sugar, and 1/4 cup of the water. Place over medium heat and stir to dissolve the sugar.
In a small bowl, mix the cornstarch with the remaining 1/4 cup of water until smooth.
Once the blueberry mixture begins to simmer, stir in the cornstarch slurry. Continue cooking, stirring constantly, for 2-3 minutes or until the sauce thickens.
Remove the saucepan from heat and stir in the lemon juice, optional lemon zest, and vanilla extract.
Let the sauce cool slightly before serving. It will thicken further as it cools. Serve warm or at room temperature over your favorite breakfast items.
