This easy blueberry sauce recipe is perfect for drizzling over pancakes or your favorite dessert. You’ll need fresh or frozen blueberries, sugar, vanilla, and cornstarch to thicken it up. Here’s how to make it:
Start by putting 1 1/2 cups of blueberries in a small saucepan. Pour in a cup of water, add half a cup of sugar, and a dash of vanilla for that lovely flavor. Heat this mixture over medium-high until it starts to gently boil and the blueberries begin to soften and break apart.
Next, mix 1 1/2 tablespoons of cornstarch with 3 tablespoons of water until dissolved and add this to your saucepan. Bring everything to a rolling boil, then reduce the heat and let it simmer for about 2-3 minutes. This will help the sauce thicken to just the right consistency. If it gets too thick, just add a bit more water, a tablespoon at a time.
Once you’re happy with the thickness, take the saucepan off the heat and stir in the remaining blueberries gently. You can serve this sauce either warm or chilled, depending on what you’re in the mood for.
Preparation takes about 5 minutes and cooking around 10 minutes. This recipe falls under the American cuisine category and is simply tagged as blueberry sauce, perfect for pancakes or as a fruit sauce. Enjoy your homemade sauce!
