Serves: 6 to 8 servings

Ingredients

• 2 cups fresh or frozen (unthawed) blueberries
• ¼ cup pure maple syrup or liquid sweetener of choice
• Pinch salt
• 2 teaspoons water
• 1 teaspoon non-GMO cornstarch
• 1 teaspoon lemon juice
• ½ teaspoon vanilla extract

Instructions

1. Place the blueberries, sweetener, and salt in a small saucepan and stir to combine. Bring the mixture to a boil, while whisking. The blueberries will begin to release their juices. Reduce the heat to a simmer, and allow the mixture to cook for 5 minutes, checking in to give it a stir every minute. Some of the blueberries will pop as they cook, releasing more juices.
2. In a small dish, whisk the water and cornstarch until dissolved. Whisk the mixture into the blueberry sauce. Bring the sauce back to a low boil, and allow it to boil for 2 minutes, while whisking. It should thicken up nicely.
3. Remove from the heat and whisk in the lemon juice and vanilla extract. Let sauce cool before serving.
