Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups fresh blueberries
- 0.5 cups granulated sugar
- 0.25 cups water
- 1 tablespoons lemon juice
- 0.5 teaspoons ground cinnamon
- 0.125 teaspoons ground nutmeg
- 0.125 teaspoons ground cloves
- 1 tablespoons cornstarch
- 1 tablespoons cold water
Instructions
In a medium saucepan, combine the fresh blueberries, granulated sugar, 0.25 cups water, lemon juice, ground cinnamon, ground nutmeg, and ground cloves.
Place the saucepan over medium heat and bring the mixture to a gentle simmer, stirring occasionally to dissolve the sugar.
Continue cooking for 8-10 minutes, occasionally stirring, until the blueberries start to break down and the mixture thickens slightly.
In a small bowl, whisk together the cornstarch and 1 tablespoon of cold water until smooth to create a slurry.
Slowly stir the cornstarch slurry into the simmering blueberry mixture, stirring constantly to avoid lumps.
Cook for an additional 3-5 minutes, or until the sauce has thickened to your desired consistency.
Remove the saucepan from the heat and let the sauce cool slightly before serving.
Serve warm or chilled. Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to one week.
