How to make blueberry sauce
Place the blueberries, lemon juice, and brown sugar in a small/medium saucepan over medium heat. Bring to a boil and lower the heat.
Continue to simmer while stirring occasionally, taking care not to crash the blueberries, until the sauce begins to thick and the desired point is achieved. The process takes about 5 minutes. Keep in mind that the sauce continues to thicken when it cools. So turn off the heat just a little before you get a perfect consistency.
If the sauce is too thick, you can add a bit of water and continue simmering until you rich your desired consistency.
Remove from the heat and let cool.
Store the sauce in an air-tight container or jar in the refrigerator for about a week. You can also freeze it.
Optional: if you want a thicker sauce you can add one tablespoon of cornstarch dissolved in one tablespoon of water when the blueberries boil. Adjust the amount of sugar to your taste.
