Good, Solid Recipe

Serve this sauce chilled over low-fat pound cake or ice cream. It's also nice warm over pancakes or waffles for breakfast.

Yield: 12 servings (serving size: about 3 tablespoons)

Ingredients

  • 1  cup  water
  • 3/4  cup  sugar
  • 1  cup  fresh blueberries
  • 1  teaspoon  butter
  • 1  teaspoon  fresh lemon juice
  • 1/2  teaspoon  vanilla extract
  • 1/8  teaspoon  ground nutmeg

Preparation

Combine 1 cup water and sugar in a small saucepan over medium-high heat; bring to a boil. Cook 5 minutes or until sugar dissolves, stirring constantly. Add blueberries and remaining ingredients to pan; return to boil. Reduce heat to medium; cook 4 minutes or until berries pop, stirring occasionally. Remove from heat.

I added some cornstarch and extra berries. Next time I'll leave the vanilla out and add extra lemon juice. Overall, we enjoyed it, but a thicker consistency would be more desirable.06/24/09

I love using this with whole wheat pancakes although I use a 1/2 cup sugar and I double the amount of blueberries or it's way too runny. I like the nutmeg flavor but it's a bit strong for my family. I add some cinnamon. I use the leftovers for waffles, oatmeal or mix it with yogurt in crepes.07/01/08
