Blueberry season is in full swing here on the farm. Unlike strawberry season this year, our blueberries are plentiful and on time. If you have not grabbed a pint or two at your local farmers’ market, now is the time. After all, even though the season may soon be over, blueberries are perfect to freeze so we can enjoy their goodness all winter. This classic 15-minute blueberry sauce is so good.

An Easy Recipe for Fresh Blueberries

Let’s talk a few minutes about blueberry sauce. I kinda love it. No, let me clarify,  reallllllly love it! I love it for a few reasons. First, it is made with the delicious blueberries that we grow. It can be made with either fresh or frozen blues too! AND – It freezes well, so you can make a big batch to store in your freezer.  

Secondly, I love how versatile it is. It is the perfect topping for two of my favorites – ice cream and pancakes. You can also use it as a topping for just about any dessert (I’m looking at your cheesecake), scone, muffin, cocktail (yep, I have used it in drinks too!).
