Blueberry Sauce

Ingredients

* 1/3 cup sugar
* 1 teaspoon cornstarch
* 1 cup water
* Juice and zest of 1/2 lemon
* 1/2 cup red currant jelly
* 2 cups fresh blueberries

Preparation

In a saucepan, combine sugar and cornstarch; stir in water and lemon juice. Bring to a boil over medium heat; reduce heat to medium low and add the currant jelly. Simmer for 5 minutes. Add blueberries and bring to a boil once again. Simmer over medium-low heat for 20 to 25 minutes, or until thick and syrupy. Makes about 2 cups of blueberry sauce.

Serve over pancakes or waffles, or as a sauce for ice cream, bread pudding, plain custard, cheesecake, pound cake, or dessert crepes. Just a few ideas!
