Steps

1Optional Cornstarch Slurry
2In a small bowl, stir together the cornstarch and 2 teaspoons of water to make a slurry. Set aside.
3Blueberry Syrup
4In a small saucepan, combine sugar and water. Over medium-high heat, stirring constantly, bring to a boil and cook until sugar is completely dissolved, 4-5 minutes.
5Stir in blueberries and cornstarch slurry if using. Bring to a simmer and then turn the heat down to keep the sauce at just a gentle simmer. Simmer for 10 to 15 minutes, until the sauce is reduced and slightly thickened. When ready, it should easily and thickly coat the back of a spoon.
6Remove from heat, stir in butter, lemon juice, lemon zest, and pinch of salt. Strain for a completely smooth syrup or add additional blueberries for more of a chunky sauce. Let sauce sit for 10-15 minutes to cool before using.
7Serve over something delicious, and enjoy!
