The blueberry sauce recipe is very flexible and you can adjust the thickness by adjusting the amount of water used in the recipe.

If you prefer even more thick blueberry sauce, you may slightly reduce the amount of water used in the recipe.

You may also cook the mixture for a while longer than mentioned in the recipe to make the sauce turn more thick on its own, as we are not using any cornstarch in this recipe and the sauce needs to thicken naturally on its own while cooking.
