Ingredients
- 2 cups fresh blueberries
- 0.5 cups granulated sugar
- 0.25 cups water
- 1 tablespoons lemon juice
- 0.5 teaspoons ground cinnamon
- 0.125 teaspoons ground nutmeg
- 0.125 teaspoons ground cloves
- 1 tablespoons cornstarch
- 1 tablespoons cold water
Directions
Step 1
In a medium saucepan, combine the fresh blueberries, granulated sugar, 0.25 cups water, lemon juice, ground cinnamon, ground nutmeg, and ground cloves.
Step 2
Place the saucepan over medium heat and bring the mixture to a gentle simmer, stirring occasionally to dissolve the sugar.
Step 3
Continue cooking for 8-10 minutes, occasionally stirring, until the blueberries start to break down and the mixture thickens slightly.
Step 4
In a small bowl, whisk together the cornstarch and 1 tablespoon of cold water until smooth to create a slurry.
Step 5
Slowly stir the cornstarch slurry into the simmering blueberry mixture, stirring constantly to avoid lumps.
Step 6
Cook for an additional 3-5 minutes, or until the sauce has thickened to your desired consistency.
Step 7
Remove the saucepan from the heat and let the sauce cool slightly before serving.
Step 8
Serve warm or chilled. Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to one week.
