Blueberry Sauce


1 cup sugar
2 tbsp cornstarch

1 cup water
1 cup blueberries, fresh or frozen
1 tsp butter

You can make this ahead of time and refrigerate, then warm up before serving. 1) Stir together 1 cup sugar and 2 tbsp cornstarch in a medium sauce pan. Add 1 cup water and stir until smooth. Stir well so cornstarch won't be clumpy. Heat to boiling and stir 2-3 minutes until thickened. 2) Add 1 cup blueberries, simmer for 8-10 minutes, stirring occasionally until blueberries start to burst. Don't let them all burst. I like some of the blueberries whole. 3) Turn heat often blueberry sauce and stir in 1 tbsp butter. Store in plastic or glass container and refrigerate until ready to use. 4) When toast is baking the next morning, you can heat up the blueberry sauce on top of the oven or microwave until warm. Serve over toast.
