Ingredients

• 2 cups fresh blueberries
• 1 cup pure maple syrup
• 0.25 cup water
• 1 tablespoon lemon juice
• 1 teaspoon cornstarch
• 1 tablespoon cold water
• 0.25 teaspoon ground cinnamon
• 1 pinch salt

Directions

Step 1

In a medium saucepan, combine the fresh blueberries, maple syrup, water, lemon juice, cinnamon, and a pinch of salt.

Step 2

Place the saucepan over medium heat and bring the mixture to a gentle simmer, stirring occasionally.

Step 3

While the blueberry mixture heats, mix the cornstarch and cold water in a small bowl until fully dissolved to create a slurry.

Step 4

Once the blueberry mixture starts to bubble, slowly pour the cornstarch slurry into the saucepan while stirring continuously.

Step 5

Continue cooking the sauce for 2-3 minutes, stirring frequently, until it thickens and reaches a silky consistency.

Step 6

Remove the sauce from the heat and allow it to cool slightly. The sauce will continue to thicken as it cools.

Step 7

Serve warm or at room temperature over pancakes, waffles, yogurt, ice cream, or as a topping for desserts.

Step 8

Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to one week.
