Ingredients
- 2 cups blueberries
- 0.5 cups maple syrup (pure)
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice (freshly squeezed)
- 1 teaspoon cornstarch
- 2 tablespoons water
- 0.5 teaspoons vanilla extract (optional)
Directions
Step 1
In a small bowl, mix the cornstarch with 2 tablespoons of water to create a smooth slurry. Set aside.
Step 2
In a medium saucepan, combine the blueberries, maple syrup, and lemon juice. Stir to combine.
Step 3
Place the saucepan over medium heat and bring the mixture to a gentle simmer. Cook for 4-5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the blueberries begin to soften and release their juices.
Step 4
Add the cornstarch slurry to the saucepan and stir well. Continue to simmer the sauce for another 2-3 minutes, or until it thickens to your desired consistency.
Step 5
Remove the saucepan from heat and stir in the vanilla extract, if using.
Step 6
Allow the sauce to cool slightly before serving. Serve warm or at room temperature over pancakes, waffles, yogurt, or ice cream. Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to one week.
