This easy blueberry sauce is made with fresh blueberries, sugar, vanilla, and corn starch. Thick, sweet, and perfect for topping pancakes.

Ingredients

  • 3 cups blueberries (fresh or frozen)
  • 1 cup water
  • 1/2 cup sugar
  • 1 1/2 tablespoons cornstarch, dissolved into 3 tablespoons water
  • 1/2 teaspoon vanilla

Directions

  1. 1

    Place 1 1/2 cups blueberries in a small saucepan. Cover with water and add sugar and vanilla. Heat over medium-high heat until mixture comes to a low boil and blueberries just start to break apart.

  2. 2

    Add dissolved cornstarch to saucepan and bring mixture to a rolling boil. Turn heat down and simmer on low heat for 2-3 minutes, or until sauce reaches desired consistency. Add water, one tablespoon at a time, if the sauce gets too thick.

  3. 3

    Remove from heat. Add remaining blueberries and stir gently. Serve warm or cold.
