How to Make Barefoot Contessa's Blueberry Sauce

  1. Combine blueberries, sugar, lemon juice, and lemon zest in a medium saucepan.
  2. Bring the mixture to a simmer over medium heat, stirring occasionally.
  3. Reduce heat to low and cook for 10-15 minutes, or until the blueberries have softened and released their juices, and the sauce has thickened slightly. Stir frequently to prevent sticking.
  4. Remove from heat and let cool slightly before serving. The sauce will continue to thicken as it cools.
  5. Serve warm or cold over your favorite dessert, such as pancakes, waffles, ice cream, or Ina's butterless cake!
