Blueberry sauce is a great way to use fresh blueberries when their peak season brings a bounty of berries. Better yet, there are many ways to use this fruit sauce, from an ice cream topping, a sauce for bread pudding, or to serve with waffles. Scale up the recipe and store in the freezer; you will have blueberry sauce on hand year-round to bring a taste of summer to your dishes any time! Though fresh blueberries are best, you can also make this sauce with frozen blueberries.

This easy sauce is a simple combination of blueberries, sugar, and a little fresh lemon juice—and it's all made without cornstarch. It can be combined with lemon curd and spooned onto sponge cake and a little blueberry sauce stirred into cream cheese makes an amazing spread for muffins, biscuits, and quick bread.
