1-Getting started with blueberry sauce is fun and straightforward, even if you’re new to cooking. First, grab all your ingredients like the blueberries, sugar, lemon juice, vanilla extract, and cornstarch slurry to set yourself up for success. This step helps you move quickly through the process without any pauses.

2-Next, place the blueberries and granulated sugar into a small saucepan and warm them over medium heat. Stir continuously while gently smashing the berries for about 3 minutes this releases their juices and builds that rich flavor. If you’re using frozen blueberries, go easy on the mashing to keep things simple.

3-Once that’s done, whisk the warm water, lemon juice, and cornstarch together in a small bowl until smooth, then pour it into the saucepan. Keep stirring and mashing for another 2 to 3 minutes until the sauce thickens up nicely. Finally, remove it from the heat, stir in the vanilla extract, and let it cool; it will get even thicker as it sits.
