3-Ingredient Blueberry Sauce
Only 3 ingredients and 15 minutes stands between you and a jar of sweet lemon blueberry sauce.
Equipment
Ingredients
- 3 cups blueberries divided
- ⅓ cup granulated sugar
- ⅓ cup water
- Zest and juice of 1 lemon
Instructions
- In a medium saucepan, combine 2 cups of blueberries, sugar, water, and the lemon zest and juice.
- Bring to a boil over medium heat, then reduce the heat to maintain a steady simmer. Cook until the berries have burst and the sauce begins to thicken, 8 to 10 minutes.
- Remove from the heat and stir in the remaining 1 cup of blueberries. Cool before using.
Notes
- Zesting--Use a microplane for zesting your lemon so that you don't have any large pieces of lemon zest in the finished sauce.
- Avoid stains--The blueberries will stain wooden spoons, so if you prefer to keep everything stain-free, use a silicone spatula or metal spoon for stirring.
- Consistency--The lemon blueberry sauce will thicken slightly as it cools, however, it is a fairly thin sauce, with a consistency similar to syrup.
- Storage--Store the sauce in a sealed container or jar in the fridge for up to 2 weeks.
- Dietary--This recipe is suitable for gluten-free, dairy-free, and vegan diets.
