Ingredients

• 2 cups fresh or frozen blueberries
• 0.25 cups granulated sugar
• 1 tablespoon lemon juice
• 0.25 cups water
• 1 tablespoon cornstarch
• 1 tablespoon cold water
• 0.5 teaspoons lemon zest (optional)

Directions

Step 1

In a medium saucepan, combine the blueberries, granulated sugar, lemon juice, and water.

Step 2

Set the saucepan over medium heat and stir occasionally until the sugar is dissolved and the blueberries release their juices. This should take about 5-7 minutes.

Step 3

In a small bowl, mix the cornstarch with cold water to create a slurry. Stir until smooth.

Step 4

Slowly pour the cornstarch slurry into the blueberry mixture while stirring continuously.

Step 5

Bring the mixture to a gentle boil and cook for 1-2 minutes, or until the sauce thickens. Stir occasionally to prevent sticking.

Step 6

Remove the saucepan from the heat. If desired, stir in the lemon zest for added flavor.

Step 7

Allow the sauce to cool slightly before serving. It will thicken further as it cools.

Step 8

Use immediately as a topping, or store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to one week.
