Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients:
- 2 cups (473 ml) fresh blueberries (or frozen)
Sweeteners and Flavoring:
- 1/4 cup (50 g) granulated sugar
- 1 tablespoon (15 ml) lemon juice
Thickening Agents:
- 1 tablespoon (8 g) cornstarch
- 1 tablespoon (15 ml) water
Instructions
- Gather fresh or frozen blueberries, ensuring they are clean and free from stems or excess moisture.
- Select a medium saucepan and combine blueberries with sugar and lemon juice, gently mixing to distribute ingredients evenly.
- Activate heat to medium, allowing the berries to slowly release natural juices and create a bubbling mixture, approximately 5-7 minutes.
- For a more robust consistency, create a smooth cornstarch slurry by whisking cornstarch with water until no lumps remain.
- Incorporate the cornstarch mixture into the simmering sauce, stirring continuously to prevent clumping and promote even thickening.
- Continue cooking for an additional 1-2 minutes, watching the sauce transform into a glossy, slightly viscous texture.
- Remove from heat and allow the sauce to cool slightly, which will further enhance its natural flavor profile and consistency.
- Serve the blueberry sauce warm for a luxurious drizzling experience or chill for a refreshing topping on desserts, pancakes, or yogurt.
Notes
- Boost Berry Flavor by using a mix of fresh and frozen blueberries, which enhances depth and complexity of the sauce.
- Customize Sweetness by adjusting sugar levels based on the natural tartness of your blueberries, tasting and adding sugar gradually.
- Create Dietary Variations by substituting sugar with honey or maple syrup for a more natural sweetener option, making the sauce suitable for refined sugar-free diets.
- Enhance Texture with cornstarch for a luxurious, glossy consistency that clings perfectly to desserts, pancakes, or yogurt.
