How to Make All Purpose Blueberry Sauce
- In a medium saucepan, combine 2 cups fresh blueberries, 1/2 cup water, 1/4 cup honey, 2 tablespoons lemon juice (bottled is fine!), 1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon (optional), and a pinch of ground nutmeg (optional).
- Bring the mixture to a rolling boil over medium-high heat.
- Reduce heat to low, and simmer for 5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until blueberries have softened and released their juices.
- In a small bowl, whisk together 2 tablespoons cornstarch and 2 tablespoons cold water until smooth. This creates a slurry.
- Gradually whisk the cornstarch slurry into the simmering blueberry mixture.
- Continue to simmer, stirring constantly, for 1-2 minutes, or until the sauce has thickened to your desired consistency.
- Remove from heat and let cool slightly before serving. Enjoy warm or cold!
Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor
Small additions can make a big impact! Try a sprinkle of fresh herbs, a dash of your favorite spice blend, or a squeeze of citrus just before serving to really enhance the flavors of your dish.
