Homemade Blueberry Sauce or Syrup

If you are already planning next weekends brunch, this scrumptious blueberry sauce (or syrup, or topping, or whatever you want to call it) needs to be on the table!

If you love blueberries, you’re in luck, because I’ve got a few different blueberry recipes coming along, since I was given a 3 pound bag of frozen blueberries.

So I thought I would start with this scrumptious blueberry sauce (or syrup) that we made over the weekend. We made this to go with some yummy french toast. We also had it over some Ted Drewes Frozen Custard (congrats to them on being crowned the best ice cream in the world!)

I think the possibilities with this recipe are truly endless.

This literally only takes a matter of minutes and it’s so good, plus blueberries are so healthy, they’re called brain food! They rank the highest of any fruit for antioxidants, and one cup delivers 14% of the recommended daily dose of fiber and nearly a quarter of the recommended daily intake of vitamin C! Superfood much?
