Make your own fresh blueberry sauce.......for a low cal dessert

Blueberries are plentiful now. The sauce recipe below is great for toppings on angel food cake, ice cream etc.

Fresh Blueberry Fruit Topping

4 tablespoons granulated sugar
4 tablespoons water
4 teaspoons cornstarch
2 teaspoons grated lemon rind
4 teaspoons fresh-squeezed lemon juice
2 pints fresh blueberries (2pts.=4 cups)

Instructions

In a microwave-safe bowl, whisk together the sugar, water, cornstarch, lemon rind and lemon juice until the sugar dissolves. Add the blueberries, stirring well. Microwave on high for 3 minutes. Stir and then microwave on high for 2 minutes more, or until thickened and bubbly. Spoon over dessert.

Suggestion: When rasperries are in season, substitute raspberries for blueberries.

Enjoy.

Thanks, Jonas! I am making this very soon!

Jonas, does this recipe need to be served right away? Can I make it ahead of time? Freeze it? Market day is Wednesday and you can be sure I'll buy enought fruit to make this.

Served right away is good . It will keep and reheat for a few days. I have never tried freezing it...... usually doesn't last that long. I made some today and it was great.
