Easy Blueberry Sauce for Blueberry Topped Treats
This easy blueberry sauce recipe can be used in any of a number of ways–stirred into yogurt, as a topping for pancakes, waffles or ice cream, dribbled over cheesecake, puddled in cottage cheese…the options are endless. I particularly like it over vanilla ice cream on top of a brownie or drizzled over lemon frozen yogurt. Whatever you choose, you’re bound to want to make this sauce over and over again.
Blueberry Sauce
makes just under 2 cups
Ingredients:
12 oz blueberries (fresh or thawed)
1/4 cup sugar or agave syrup or honey
1 teaspoon lemon juice or 1/4 teaspoon vanilla extrac or both
Directions:
Combine the blueberries and sugar in a medium saucepan and cook over medium heat about five minutes until the berries start to burst. Remove from heat and either puree the whole batch in a blender for a smooth sauce or 1/3 to 1/2 the batch for a chunkier sauce.If you have a hand blender you can just puree the berries in the pot until you’ve got a consistency you like. Stir the batch back together and add the lemon and/or the vanilla. Taste and adjust the sweetening/lemon/vanilla to your liking and serve warm or chilled.
