How to Make Blueberry Sauce

To make blueberry compote, add blueberries, cornstarch, water, lemon juice and sugar to a sauce pan over medium high heat. Then bring the mixture to a boil, then simmer and stir occasionally for about five minutes, or until blueberry have softened into a jam.

Then, once the sauce has thickened (and some or all of the blueberries may have burst) remove from heat. Allow it to cool, then use it as you like, whether that’s on top of your favorite dessert or as a filling for baking.

Store blueberry compote in an airtight container in the refrigerator for 5-6 days.
