Instructions

In a saucepan over medium heat, combine the blueberries, water, sugar, lemon juice, and salt. Stir occasionally and bring to a simmer.
Once the mixture starts to simmer, add the cornstarch paste. Stir gently until well combined.
Continue cooking for about 5–7 minutes, or until the sauce thickens and coats the back of a spoon.
Remove the saucepan from heat and stir in the vanilla extract.
The sauce can be served warm, at room temperature, or chilled.

Notes

Double or triple the ingredients to make a larger batch of blueberry sauce.
Add spices like cinnamon or nutmeg for extra depth of flavor.
Frozen blueberries can be used in place of fresh, just don’t defrost them before cooking.
