Instructions
Making your own Homemade Blueberry Sauce is both easy and rewarding. Follow these straightforward steps to whip up a delicious sauce:
1. Prepare Blueberries: Rinse the blueberries under cool water, removing any stems or leaves.
2. Combine Ingredients: In a medium saucepan, combine the washed blueberries, granulated sugar, lemon juice, and a pinch of salt. Stir gently to combine.
3. Heat Mixture: Place the saucepan over medium heat. Allow the blueberries to cook down, stirring occasionally. You’ll start to hear them pop as they release their juices.
4. Dissolve Cornstarch: In a small bowl, mix the cornstarch with two tablespoons of water until smooth. This will help thicken the sauce.
5. Add Cornstarch Mix: Once the blueberries have cooked for around 5-7 minutes and have broken down, add the cornstarch mixture to the pan.
6. Simmer: Continue to cook for an additional 5 minutes, stirring frequently. The sauce will thicken nicely. If it becomes too thick, add a little water until desired consistency is achieved.
7. Cool: Remove the saucepan from the heat, and allow the sauce to cool slightly. It will thicken more as it cools.
8. Store: Transfer the sauce to a jar or container for storage. You can keep it in the refrigerator for up to two weeks.
With these steps, you’ll have a batch of incredible Homemade Blueberry Sauce ready to delight your taste buds!
