Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups fresh blueberries
- 0.25 cups water
- 2 tablespoons maple syrup
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon cornstarch
- 0.5 teaspoons vanilla extract
Instructions
In a medium saucepan, combine the fresh blueberries, water, and maple syrup.
Set the saucepan over medium heat and bring the mixture to a gentle simmer, stirring occasionally.
In a small bowl, dissolve the cornstarch in the lemon juice to form a slurry.
Once the blueberries begin to soften and release their juices (approximately 5 minutes), add the lemon juice-cornstarch mixture to the saucepan.
Continue to cook while stirring constantly, allowing the sauce to thicken (about 2-3 more minutes).
Remove the saucepan from the heat and stir in the vanilla extract.
Allow the sauce to cool slightly before serving, or refrigerate it for later use. It can be served warm or cold, depending on your preference.
