    On the stove top recipe for blueberry sauce, I have also used lemon juice to flavor the sauce, but in this recipe I am keeping things even more simple & easy by skipping the lemon juice and still the blueberry sauce turned out very delicious.

    If you wish, you may add lemon juice too to this recipe (you can add just about 2 tablespoons of lemon juice) for a slightly tangy and sweet flavor.

    what is blueberry sauce or compote?

    Blueberry sauce is simply a fruit based sauce or berry sauce made using blueberries. Blueberry sauce is also known as blueberry compote.

    perfect blueberry sauce for cheesecakes and pancakes and ice creams

    Blueberry sauce or blueberry compote is similar to blueberry jam.

    However, the consistency of the sauce is different from the jam, as the jam is more thickened. Also the blueberry jam is usually more sweeter than blueberry sauce. Blueberry jam is also very easy to make in the instant pot and you can find instant pot blueberry jam (video recipe) here.

    Blueberry sauce is actually much easier to prepare than blueberry jam, since we do not need to thicken the sauce as much as the jam and so, the simmering or cooking time for the sauce is much lesser. As I mentioned above, we can use fresh blueberries or frozen blueberries to make blueberry sauce. In this recipe, we use fresh blueberries which can be replaced with frozen blueberries as well.

    Blueberries have a lot of health benefits and they are used in a lot of recipes, though they are most popularly used in dessert recipes like cakes, pies etc. Blueberry sauce is a colorful, delicious sauce that is mostly flavored with vanilla flavor and it goes great as a topping for cheesecakes, pancakes, waffles, french toast etc or you can also use it in place of fruit spreads with regular bread or toast.

    Blueberry sauce can be easily prepared in the instant pot, though it is also easy to make using a pan on stove top as well.

    I have an easy blueberry sauce recipe on stove top here, which is also simple and quick and also gives you delicious homemade blueberry sauce made from scratch.

    how to thicken blueberry sauce?

    Blueberry sauce is thickened using cornstarch.

    We make a simple & easy cornstarch mixture using cornstarch and little water, which is added to the cooked blueberries and simmer it for couple of minutes, and blueberry sauce will thicken perfectly to the required consistency very quickly!

    can you make blueberry sauce without sugar?

    You may skip the sugar or reduce the amount of sugar for the blueberry sauce if you do not want the sauce to be sweet. However, I recommend using the same amount of sugar in the recipe, for the right amount of sweetness. You may also replace the sugar with any natural sweeteners like honey, maple syrup or stevia but you may need to add little more cornstarch because the use of liquid sweeteners will require more cornstarch mixture to thicken the sauce.

    So here is how we can easily make delicious blueberry sauce for cheesecakes, pancakes, french toast etc following this easy recipe in instant pot.
