Why eat breakfast for breakfast when you can eat breakfast for dinner, lunch, snacks, and breakfast?

Because this sweet, chunky, smooth, juicy blueberry sauce is now perfect for drizzling over fluffy pancakes or golden crispy waffles. But to be honest, we drizzle it on everything here. Ice cream. Okay. Greek yogurt. Uh-huh. Cookies, pie crust, a bowl of cottage cheese, oatmeal, toast, fill your deli plate… Watch out!

Drizzle on a delicious grilled steak or pork loin! We may not know! Someone tried!

So, I want to be more specific: Why limit this super simple, super delicious blueberry sauce to breakfast only when you can eat it anywhere? Blueberry jam all day long. Yeah, yeah.

How to make blueberry sauce

Now that you’ve rummaged through the fridge and pantry like a wild man, your next question must be, “Well, how?” It’s so simple. Let’s get started.

• Place half the blueberries in a small saucepan with water, add the sugar and vanilla, and let the mixture simmer over medium heat until the blueberries begin to crack.
• Add dissolved cornstarch and bring to a boil. Simmer for a while until the desired consistency is reached. (If it’s too thick, add a little water.)
• Remove from the heat, transfer to a small bowl, and add the remaining blueberries! Grab a spoonful of these berries and eat them either hot or cold.

What do you put sauce on

We’re trying to cheat here by saying, “What not to put in this sauce?” and leaving that part blank.

But seriously, get creative. Feel excited. Could you put it on everything? Want to try it on these whole-grain pancakes or sprinkle the blueberry powder on these fluffy blueberry pancakes to double your happiness? Fresh blueberry peach cake? Eating overnight oatmeal? On a big piece of cheesecake? You can also grab vanilla ice cream from the fridge and enjoy it. Almost all desserts come with this sauce piled on top.

Or make a loaf of unkneaded bread, tear off a steaming hot bread, dip it in butter, and rub it with this sauce. Yes, ma’am.

I’m glad you have this in your life now. Be sure to report back if you eat steak. Blueberry sauce lovers would love to know.
