Blueberry Sauce
Ingredients:
2 cups blueberries
Zest of 1 lemon
Juice of 1 lemon
1/4 cup granulated sugar (adjust to taste)
1/4 cup water
1 tablespoon cornstarch + 1 tablespoon water
Directions:
In a medium saucepan, combine the blueberries, lemon zest, lemon juice, granulated sugar, and water.
Stir the mixture well and bring it to a gentle boil over medium heat.
In a small bowl, mix the cornstarch with a tablespoon of water to create a slurry.
Slowly pour the cornstarch slurry into the blueberry mixture while stirring continuously.
Reduce the heat to low and simmer the sauce for about 5-7 minutes, or until it thickens to your desired consistency, stirring occasionally.
Remove the saucepan from heat and let the blueberry sauce cool for a few minutes.
Once cooled, transfer the sauce to a jar or container and refrigerate it until ready to use.
*The sauce can be stored in the refrigerator for a few days, allowing you to add a burst of fruity goodness to your favorite dishes and treats.
