Tips:

  • Fresh is best: Use fresh wild blueberries for the best flavor. If you can't find fresh blueberries, frozen berries will work well too.
  • Choose ripe berries: Look for berries that are plump and dark blue. Avoid berries that are green or shriveled.
  • Rinse the berries before using: Rinse the berries gently in cold water to remove any dirt or debris.
  • Use a heavy-bottomed saucepan: A heavy-bottomed saucepan will help to prevent the sauce from burning.
  • Cook the sauce over medium heat: This will help to prevent the sauce from splattering and burning.
  • Stir the sauce frequently: Stirring the sauce frequently will help to prevent it from sticking to the bottom of the pan.
  • Add cornstarch slurry to thicken the sauce: If you want a thicker sauce, add a cornstarch slurry (equal parts cornstarch and water) to the sauce and cook until thickened.
  • Serve the sauce warm or cold: This sauce can be served warm over pancakes, waffles, or ice cream. It can also be served cold as a topping for yogurt or fruit salad.
