Blueberries keep in the freezer so well and this sauce utilizes them straight from the cold coffer to create a sublime sauce with just a few ingredients in less than 15 minutes. Try adding a teaspoonful to sweeten a cup of herbal tea or drizzle over a freshly baked biscuit!
Makes about a cup
Ingredients
- 1 cup Blueberries, frozen or fresh
- ¼ cup Maple Syrup (Agave Syrup works also)
- Pinch Sea Salt
- ½ teaspoon Lemon Zest
Directions
- Place frozen blueberries and syrup in a nonstick skillet over medium heat and bring to a gentle boil, stirring occasionally until the fruit starts to thicken slightly (about 5-7 minutes).
- Occasionally press the berries with the back of a wooden spoon to lightly crush them into a saucy consistency while they are cooking.
- Once the sauce has thickened, remove from the heat and add just a pinch of salt and the lemon zest, stirring to combine.
- Sauce can be served warm or at room temperature. Cover and refrigerate any leftover sauce.
NOTES:
This sauce is delightful over pancakes, but don’t stop there! Try it over ice cream, to flavor a milkshake or to take a slice of cheesecake or a lemon bar dessert, for example, from ordinary to extraordinary!
