Turn fresh or frozen blueberries into a delicious sauce to top pancakes, ice cream, cheesecake and more! This sauce has a great balance of sweet and tart and comes together easily with very few ingredients.
Place 1 cup blueberries, ¾ cup water, 1 cup granulated sugar, and 1 Tablespoon lemon juice in a saucepan. Heat over low, stirring frequently, until the sugar is dissolved.
Increase heat to medium. Keep at a low boil, stirring frequently, until thickened, about 15 minutes.
Notes
As written, you will have a blueberry sauce that is syrupy and perfect for pancakes etc. If you want a thicker sauce, either just cook it for longer or stir in a slurry made from 1 teaspoon cornstarch and a teaspoon or two of water at the end of the cook time.
Store any leftover sauce in an airtight container in the refrigerator.
