You will love my quick and easy blueberry sauce. It's perfect for ice cream, pancakes, and as a topping on some deliciously good pound cake!
I have found my all time new favorite sauce that I have been using on EVERYTHING lately. This delicious quick and easy blueberry sauce takes minutes to prepare. The longer it cooks, the thicker and more flavorful it gets.
This easy blueberry sauce is made with fresh blueberries, sugar, vanilla, and corn starch. Thick, sweet, and perfect for topping pancakes.
I love using fresh blueberries for this, but you can use frozen too.
I have never really been a big fan of blueberries like this until this summer when I was introduced to Ranier Fruit and their organic blueberries. The flavor was just so much more intense than the blueberries I get at the store.
To make this dish you need,
- 3 cups blueberries (fresh or frozen)
- 1 cup water
- ½ cup sugar
- 1 ½ tablespoons cornstarch dissolved into 3 tablespoons water
- ½ teaspoon vanilla
Place 1 ½ cups blueberries in a small saucepan. Cover with water and add sugar and vanilla. Heat over medium-high heat until mixture comes to a low boil and blueberries just start to break apart.
Add dissolved cornstarch to saucepan and bring mixture to a rolling boil. Turn heat down and simmer on low heat for 2-3 minutes, or until sauce reaches desired consistency. Add water, one tablespoon at a time, if the sauce gets too thick.
Remove from heat. Add remaining blueberries and stir gently. Serve warm or cold.
You will love this quick and easy blueberry sauce so much! Like I said -- put it on top of pancakes, pound cake, or even on top of ice cream. It is simply delicious.

That is a fabulous recipe! It is similar to a Strawberry one my husband makes for homemade waffles!! It is to die for! I can't wait to try this one
Thank you for this yummy and easy recipe! I ADORE fresh blueberries and always have plenty on hand. This gives me a new way to use and enjoy them!
Mmm this sounds amazing! My son is obsessed with blueberries and would love to have this with his breakfast every day!
We love strawberry shortcake, and I'm sure we would love this blueberry sauce. It would be perfect over some nice belgian waffles too!
I absolutely love blueberries! I will definitely be trying out this recipe. I might use this instead of my grape jelly! Sounds delightfully satisfying!

Wow! Love and appreciate this recipe. It's the perfrct topping for pancakes and waffles as well. I would love to make this one of these days!
This sauce sounds amazing. I love blueberry sauce. I've never made it myself before though.
This looks amazing! I need to make this! Printing it out for my grandpa!
I love fresh blueberries. I'd have to buy frozen ones to use for this recipe, because if I bought fresh ones, they wouldn't last long enough to make them into a sauce!
Omg I have everything on that ingredient list to make this!! I can assume that I can add any fruits to make the sauce and it would work the same?
