You will find numerous ways in which to enjoy my simple, easily prepared Blueberry Sauce. With just three ingredients - plump, juicy blueberries, sugar, and fresh lemon juice, it is quickly and easily prepared. This sauce will turn already lovely dishes into something extra special and all with a minimum of effort.
Add the blueberries to a medium sized saucepan along with the sugar and lemon juice.Turn on the heat to medium, and stir to dissolve the sugar.
Increase the heat to medium-high, and bring to a boil.Then turn down the heat to medium and simmer for 5-7 minutes.
Set the sauce aside to cool slightly before either using an immersion hand blender or blender to puree until smooth.
Notes
Blueberries: I have used fresh blueberries, but you can also use frozen. The sauce may take a couple of minutes extra to cook.
Tablespoon: we use a standard Australian tablespoon which is 20 ml (4 teaspoons).
Non-reactive saucepans: are those which are ceramic, stainless steel, glass or enamelled cookware. Copper, iron and aluminium pans are reactive. Acidic foods, such as lemons, may take on a metallic taste and discolour if cooked in such pans.
Storage: you can make this blueberry sauce up to 3 days in advance; cover and refrigerate until ready to serve.
Freezing: add to a freezer safe ziplock bag, seal, and store flat in the freezer for up to 3 months. Alternatively, freeze in an ice cube tray so you have individual serves.
Nutrition: is calculated on the full quantity of Blueberry Sauce.
