In a small bowl, whisk together the cornstarch and 2 tablespoons of cold water until smooth.
Add the cornstarch mixture to the saucepan and stir well to combine.
Bring the mixture to a gentle simmer, stirring frequently, and cook for 5-7 minutes until the sauce thickens and the blueberries are softened.
