Ingredients
- 2 cups fresh blueberries
- 1 cup pure maple syrup
- 0.25 cup water
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon cornstarch
- 1 tablespoon cold water
- 0.25 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1 pinch salt
Directions
Step 1
In a medium saucepan, combine the fresh blueberries, maple syrup, water, lemon juice, cinnamon, and a pinch of salt.
Step 2
Place the saucepan over medium heat and bring the mixture to a gentle simmer, stirring occasionally.
Step 3
While the blueberry mixture heats, mix the cornstarch and cold water in a small bowl until fully dissolved to create a slurry.
Step 4
Once the blueberry mixture starts to bubble, slowly pour the cornstarch slurry into the saucepan while stirring continuously.
Step 5
Continue cooking the sauce for 2-3 minutes, stirring frequently, until it thickens and reaches a silky consistency.
Step 6
Remove the sauce from the heat and allow it to cool slightly. The sauce will continue to thicken as it cools.
