Ingredients

  • 3 cups fresh or frozen blueberries
  • ½ cup granulated sugar
  • ¼ cup water
  • 1 teaspoon lemon juice
  • 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract

Instructions

  • In a medium pan stir together the 3 cups fresh or frozen blueberries, ½ cup granulated sugar, ¼ cup water, and 1 teaspoon lemon juice. Bring the mixture to a simmer over medium heat.
  • Cook the mixture at a low simmer for about 5 minutes, continuing to stir often, until it has thickened.
  • Use the back of your spoon to smush some of the berries (do this carefully—don't get splashed) to help thicken the sauce.
  • Remove the pan from the heat. Stir in the 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract. Allow the sauce to cool for 5 minutes.
  • Serve the sauce while it's still warm, or let it cool to room temperature. You can also serve it chilled.
  • When the blueberry sauce has cooled, transfer it to a mason jar or other container, and cover. Store the sauce in the fridge for up to two weeks. 
  • Makes 2 cups of blueberry sauce.

Notes

  • To store Blueberry Sauce, let it cool to room temperature. Transfer the sauce to a mason jar or other container and cover tightly.
  • This Blueberry Sauce can be refrigerated for two weeks or frozen for up to three months.
