Ingredients

• 2 cups fresh blueberries
• 0.5 cups orange juice
• 1 teaspoon orange zest
• 0.25 cups granulated sugar
• 1 teaspoon cornstarch
• 2 tablespoons cold water
• 0.5 teaspoons vanilla extract

Directions

Step 1

In a medium-sized saucepan, combine the fresh blueberries, orange juice, orange zest, and granulated sugar.

Step 2

Place the saucepan over medium heat and stir gently until the sugar dissolves and the blueberries begin to release their juices, about 3-4 minutes.

Step 3

In a small bowl, mix the cornstarch with cold water until fully dissolved.

Step 4

Add the cornstarch mixture to the saucepan and stir well to combine.

Step 5

Bring the mixture to a gentle simmer, stirring frequently, and cook for another 4-5 minutes, or until the sauce thickens and the blueberries break down slightly.

Step 6

Remove the saucepan from the heat and stir in the vanilla extract.

Step 7

Allow the sauce to cool slightly before serving, or transfer it to an airtight container and refrigerate for later use.
