Ingredients
- 4 cups blueberries divided
- ¼ cup cold water divided
- 2 Tablespoons cold water divided
- ⅓ cup sugar
- 1 Tablespoon lemon juice
- 1 Tablespoon cornstarch
- 1 Tablespoon butter
- ¼ teaspoon vanilla extract optional
Instructions
- Combine 2 ½ cups (350g) blueberries, ¼ cup water, sugar, and lemon juice in a medium saucepan over medium-high heat.
- Stir frequently until the blueberries release their juices (about 5-7 minutes).
- In a small bowl, whisk together cornstarch and remaining 2 Tablespoons cold water until completely combined.
- Pour into blueberry mixture and stir well.
- Stirring constantly, bring mixture to a rolling boil and then reduce heat and simmer, stirring frequently, until the sauce coats the bottom of a metal spoon.
- Remove from heat, stir in butter and vanilla extract (if using), until butter is melted. Add remaining 1 ½ cups (210g) blueberries and stir well.
- Serve and enjoy. If your sauce becomes too thick you can always add water while the mixture is still hot to make it thinner, but be sure to only add a teaspoon or two at a time until desired consistency is reached.
- Blueberry sauce is best served warm.
