Raise your hand if you like easy! This blueberry sauce recipe is just that. With only three ingredients, it comes together quickly and is perfect for topping waffles or pancakes.

For a smooth weekend breakfast in the kitchen, start cooking this blueberry sauce — also known as a blueberry compote — before you begin making your waffle (or pancake) batter. Let it cook while you’re mixing and cooking the rest of the meal and it will be ready to serve right on time.

Store leftover blueberry sauce recipe in the fridge for up to a week. If you don’t have the chance to serve it with waffles again, use it in a fruit smoothie!

What’s great about this blueberry sauce is that it gives you a full serving of fruit and has little added sugar. In fact, if your blueberries are extra sweet, you could skip the sugar in this recipe entirely.

This blueberry sauce is made without cornstarch as a thickener. If you like a thicker sauce, combine two teaspoons of cornstarch with two teaspoons of water. Slowly stir it into the hot sauce in the saucepan at the end of it’s cooking time.

While the obvious way to use this sauce is on your favorite pancakes or waffles, it can work equally well spooned onto a slice of cheesecake.

No matter where we are in the world, we need to eat. Our food culture here in America differs drastically from the food culture in other parts of the world. There are parts of our American food culture that I can embrace fully — like the shift to eating locally grown produce and cooking meals from scratch. And while the fast food that appears nightly on many tables isn’t the high point of food in the USA, it also presents an opportunity to guide people to good food. To introduce the idea of homemade food rather than pre-packaged options. To showcase garden fresh produce. And to gain insight into what eating looks like in other parts of the world. Through food, we can understand one another and open our hearts, minds, and stomachs to the differences — and similarities — between humans from across the globe.
