Ingredients:

  • 2 cups (300g) fresh blueberries
  • 1/2 cup (100g) granulated sugar
  • 1 tbsp (15ml) fresh lemon juice
  • 3 tbsp (45ml) water
  • 1 tbsp (8g) cornstarch
  • 1 tbsp (15ml) cold water

Instructions:

  1. Combine the fresh blueberries, sugar, lemon juice, and water in a heavy-bottomed saucepan. Stir over medium heat until the sugar has completely dissolved and the berries begin to soften.
  2. Bring the mixture to a gentle simmer. Let it cook for 8–10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the berries burst and the liquid turns a deep violet hue.
  3. In a small ramekin, whisk the cornstarch and cold water until smooth to create a slurry. Slowly stir the slurry into the simmering sauce.
  4. Continue to cook for another 1–2 minutes until the sauce reaches a syrupy consistency that coats the back of a spoon. Remove from heat and let it cool slightly to thicken further.
