This Easy Blueberry Sauce is a quick and versatile topping made with juicy blueberries, fresh lemon, and a touch of vanilla. Sweet, vibrant, and full of fresh fruit flavor, it pairs perfectly with pancakes, waffles, cheesecake, yogurt, oatmeal, and ice cream.

Ingredients

  • 2 cups fresh or frozen blueberries
  • 1/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice
  • 1 teaspoon lemon zest
  • 2 teaspoons cornstarch
  • 2 tablespoons water
  • 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract

Instructions

  1. Place the blueberries, granulated sugar, lemon juice, and lemon zest into a saucepan over medium heat.
  2. Stir occasionally as the blueberries soften and release their juices.
  3. In a small bowl, mix the cornstarch and water until smooth to create a slurry.
  4. Pour the cornstarch mixture into the saucepan and stir well.
  5. Continue cooking for a few minutes until the sauce thickens slightly.
  6. Remove the saucepan from the heat and stir in the vanilla extract.
  7. Allow the sauce to cool slightly before serving.

  • Add cinnamon or honey for additional flavor and sweetness.
