Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups Fresh blueberries
- 0.33 cup Granulated sugar
- 0.25 cup Water
- 2 small Fresh lavender sprigs
- 1 tablespoon Lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon Cornstarch
- 1 tablespoon Cold water
Instructions
Rinse the blueberries under cold water and set aside.
In a medium-sized saucepan, combine the blueberries, granulated sugar, 1/4 cup of water, and the fresh lavender sprigs.
Place the saucepan over medium heat and stir gently until the sugar dissolves and the blueberries begin to release their juices, about 3-4 minutes.
In a small bowl, mix the cornstarch and 1 tablespoon of cold water until smooth, creating a slurry.
Remove the lavender sprigs from the saucepan once the lavender aroma is infused, approximately 5 minutes into cooking.
Add the lemon juice and cornstarch slurry to the saucepan, stirring constantly to prevent lumps.
Continue to cook the sauce over medium heat for another 2-3 minutes, or until it thickens to your desired consistency.
Remove the saucepan from the heat and allow the sauce to cool slightly. Serve warm or chilled, as desired.
