Blue Berry Sauce



Blueberries wow .................... so   Delicious . i really like its rich color and flavor.Blueberries belong to the genus Vaccinium and are related to the bilberry, cranberry, huckleberry, hurtle berry, Saskatoon, and whortleberry. This round, smooth-skinned, dark blue, sweet and juicy berry with a dusty white bloom, is native to North America
 Today i am making  homemade blueberry sauce for my Cake actually .. :)  It's full of fresh blueberries in a thick bluish purple colored  sauce, and its tangy sweet flavor makes it an excellent
Tomorrow is my husband's Birthday so i will use this sauce for my Cake and  its a surprise for him . But generally we can use in stuffed French toast,Cheesecake, pancakes, , crepes,, stirred into plain yogurt, ice cream ,waffles ,blueberry pie like any type toppings ,and dessert sauce and savory sauces. It can also be used in the preparation of the blueberry Martini.












Ingredients :-

3 cups of fresh blueberries Or  frozen blueberries
1 cup and 3-4 Tbsp  granulated white sugar, or to taste
2  teaspoons  cornstarch (cornflour)
1 tablespoon freshly squeezed lemon juice Or cider vinegar
1 1/2 cup water
Pinch of salt
1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract (optional)
1 teaspoon freshly grated Orange zest (outer yellow skin) (optional) Pinch of  cinnamon powder (optional)
                                                                                    Pinch of pepper (optional)




Method :- 




Take a medium sized  Sauce Pan , add   blueberries ,water ,sugar (depends on your taste and fruits sweetness ),salt and  cinnamon powder .corn starch ,
 Cornstarch (cornflour) which  helps to thicken the sauce. I also added a little cinnamon powder and vanilla extract for some extra flavor. But if you don't like, just don't add as it is optional anyways .... :)






Now just  Cook it about 10 mins at medium flame.  Keep stir continuously otherwise it can burn from bottom .  Keep this doing when Some Blue berries are meshed with water   but others will remain whole.
Keep in mind that  I am making this sauce for my Cake , but if you want to eat this in some other way  you can cook more so  it will be more thicker.
If you want a smoother sauce, simply blend or process the sauce until smooth. It is up to you  ... :P












Remove from heat and stir in the vanilla extract(if you like it) , and the orange  zest and  lemon juice






keep it for cool . Wow Yammy Blueberry sauce is ready ..................!!!!!!!
Now  you can  keep it in refrigerate (about a week ) , and enjoy it with your Family .....!
