One Sunday morning, I was inspired to make blueberry iced cinnamon rolls for my family. Yes, I could have chosen to scour the internet for a recipe like a normal person. But, instead, I chose to use my favorite cinnamon roll recipe and make a blueberry sauce for the filling by "just winging it". So it was, this easy blueberry sauce recipe was born! And, may I add, it turned out marvelously!
This blueberry sauce took very few ingredients, and I was able to whip it up on the stovetop in a matter of minutes! There is so much more that this sauce could be used for: A topping for ice cream, as a filling (along with a sweet, cream cheese, perhaps) for crepes or doughnuts, a topping for a fat stack of pancakes, or a decadent, fruity filling in between a cake's layers, etc.
Impress your loved ones with your cooking skills and let your creativity run wild with this versatile, easy blueberry sauce. I would love to hear all the creative uses you find for this! Enjoy!
Ingredients
Blueberries.
Water.
Sugar.
Cornstarch.
Lemon juice. Fresh squeezed is always best!
Vanilla.
Directions
First, add the blueberries, water, and sugar to a saucepan and bring to a boil over medium to low heat. When the sugar has dissolved and the liquid begins to turn a beautiful, deep purple, reduce heat to medium-low. Add the cornstarch and allow the mixture to thicken. Remove it from the heat, add vanilla, and allow to cool. If are needing the sauce ASAP and you need to speed up the cooling process, put the saucepan directly in the fridge or freezer for a few minutes!
It's really that simple! You've got yourself some wonderfully delicious, easy, blueberry sauce to top all the things and you've impressed your loved ones with your fantastic cooking abilities at the same time. Go you!
