Quick Blueberry Sauce

Make this quick blueberry sauce and you won’t be disappointed.  It works great on cake (like the lemon poundcake recipe on this blog), ice cream, and just on a spoon.  

You will need ...

  • Frozen Blueberries, 2 Cups
  • Granulated Sugar, 1 Cup
  • Cornstarch, 1 T
  • Vanilla Extract, 2 tsp
  • Lemon Juice, 2 tsp
  • Water, 1/2 Cup

NOTE: You can substitute arrowroot for the cornstarch.  Just know that the sauce will appear gummy, but the taste remains the same.

Step One

In a heavy bottomed saucepan, place the blueberries, vanilla, lemon juice, and water. 

Step Two

In a bowl, mix together the sugar and the cornstarch.  Then, add it in to the saucepan and whisk it all until combined.  Combining it with the sugar helps to avoid the cornstarch clumps that often happen when adding cornstarch to a liquid.

Step Three

Cook on medium heat. Stir occasionally in the beginning. Once the mixture begins to thicken, stir constantly.

Step Four

Cook the mixture on the stove for about 5-8 minutes or just until sauce reaches a consistency similar to honey.  Once this happens, remove it from the heat and let cool.

Enjoy!

The sauce should keep well in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 weeks.  

 

To use it on the lemon poundcake, slice the poundcake and butter both sides of the cake.  Toast it in the pan to brown each side.  Top with blueberry sauce and enjoy!
