How to Make Up Those Antioxidants With Blueberry Sauce

  1. Gently thaw 2 cups of frozen blueberries.
  2. In a medium saucepan, combine the thawed blueberries and 2 tablespoons of lemon juice.
  3. Cook over medium heat for 5 minutes, or until the blueberries release their juices and begin to soften.
  4. Stir in 1 tablespoon of lemon zest.
  5. Increase heat to medium-high and bring to a simmer. Cook for another 5-7 minutes, or until the blueberries are very soft and have thickened slightly.
  6. Remove from heat and stir in 1/4 cup of granulated sugar (or to taste).
  7. Pour the sauce into a heatproof container. Allow to cool completely at room temperature.
  8. Once cooled, the sauce will continue to thicken.
  9. Remove the lemon zest before serving (optional).
  10. Cover and refrigerate for at least 2 hours to allow flavors to meld. The sauce will thicken further during chilling.
  11. Store in the refrigerator for up to one week.
