Ingredients

  • 18 oz. blueberries ~3 ½ cups
  • ½ cup granulated sugar
  • 1 tablespoon cornstarch
  • A pinch of fine sea salt
  • 3 tablespoons lemon juice freshly squeezed
  • 3 tablespoons water
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Instructions

  • Combine the blueberries, sugar, cornstarch, lemon juice and water in a large saucepan. Season with a pinch of salt. Stir to coat.
  • Heat the blueberries over medium heat. Cook them for about 5 minutes, bringing to a boil. The sauce will bubble and will have thickened enough to coat the back of a spoon. The blueberries should mostly hold their shape.
  • Add the vanilla once the blueberry sauce is the correct consistency. Stir to combine.
  • Let the sauce cool for 15-20 minutes before transferring to a mason jar or another airtight storage container. Transfer to the refrigerator. (It will keep for up to two weeks!)
  • Serve the sauce warm or cold with your favorite dessert or breakfast item.
