Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups fresh blueberries
- 1 cup pure maple syrup
- 0.25 cup water
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon cornstarch
- 1 tablespoon cold water
- 0.25 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1 pinch salt
Instructions
In a medium saucepan, combine the fresh blueberries, maple syrup, water, lemon juice, cinnamon, and a pinch of salt.
Place the saucepan over medium heat and bring the mixture to a gentle simmer, stirring occasionally.
While the blueberry mixture heats, mix the cornstarch and cold water in a small bowl until fully dissolved to create a slurry.
Once the blueberry mixture starts to bubble, slowly pour the cornstarch slurry into the saucepan while stirring continuously.
Continue cooking the sauce for 2-3 minutes, stirring frequently, until it thickens and reaches a silky consistency.
Remove the sauce from the heat and allow it to cool slightly. The sauce will continue to thicken as it cools.
Serve warm or at room temperature over pancakes, waffles, yogurt, ice cream, or as a topping for desserts.
Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to one week.
