Blueberry Sauce
These pancakes tasted like dessert when I topped them with this delicious Blueberry Sauce and whipped cream! My homegrown Blueberries were used in this recipe but you can use fresh store bought or even frozen. This sauce isn’t just for pancakes. Put it on waffles, ice cream or what ever you desire.
Ingredients
In a small saucepan, over medium heat,
add the blueberries, sugar and apple juice.
In a small bowl, whisk the
cornstarch with the cold water.
Pour the cornstarch mixture
into the blueberries and stir.
Bring to a boil stirring frequently.
Continue to boil stirring constantly until thick.
Remove from the heat and stir
in the cinnamon and vanilla.
Pour over pancakes, waffles, ice cream,
cake or what ever you prefer.

Ooo tasty 🙈💞
Thank you Saania it is delicious on so many types of food!
I just love blueberries. And those pancakes are just tempting me beyond anything.❣
They tasted so good Moushmi! My husband actually made the pancakes for our grandson for breakfast. He is only 4 so he only ate one. I had my husband freeze the rest. They didn’t even get to freeze completely when I decide to make the Blueberry sauce and I snatched the pancakes right out of the freezer…..not even frozen yet…lol
I’ve got some frozen blueberries that need to be used, and this looks perfect. How long would this last in the fridge? A couple of weeks? Could the sauce be frozen?
I personally would refrigerate for up to 5 days only. My husband used to be a health inspector so I am always cautious. You most definitely can freeze it! Just freeze in freezer bags or freezer container making sure all the air is out. It’s funny you ask about freezing because when I made it I was thinking how it would be great to freeze in large ice cube type trays. Once frozen place in a large freezer bag and pop out how many cubes you want for single servings and thaw.
Do you think an equivalent exchange of Boysenberries would work in this recipe? I want to make this too, but now that I live in a rural area I don’t have access to Boysenberry Syrup and miss it. 🙂 This made me feel nostalgic and you have so much culinary knowledge I thought I’d pick your brain, if you don’t mind? 🙂
I have never tasted a Boysenberry, isn’t that crazy! I absolutely think it will work though, however, you may have to adjust the sugar. Since I have never tasted them I don’t know how sweet they are.
This is so yummy!
Thank you! All I kept saying with every bite was OMG!!! This was like a fabulous dessert. Of course I added more whipped cream than the picture. hahahaha
Reblogged this on LIVING THE DREAM.
Thank you so much China!
I BLUEBERRY DIANE, EVEN THE SOFT DRINK, CHINA
China I have never heard of a blueberry soft drink! I would love to try that!
Looks so vibrant and delicious!
Thank you it was as much fun to make as it was to eat…..wait let me think about that! hahaha
It is blueberry time, huh? Yummy!
Yes! I have picked so many I am sharing the last few days with the birds! I have a freezer with gallon bags of them. That should get me through the winter.
We keep talking about going to pick some and haven’t yet… I wonder if they’ll be gone by the time we decide…
That’s a whole lot better than IHOP – amazing 😉
Oh yes!!!! And not only that, I used the leftover Blueberry Sauce for ice cream. Can’t do that at IHOP. hahahaha
So true! Now I am very hungry boohoo
What a great idea to use apple juice! I make this up pretty often, too, and often add a bit of either lemon or orange peel during the boiling stage. If not too lazy, I grate up a bit of the peel to add at the end, and remove the larger pieces of peel.

Thanks! This was an experiment using the apple juice. I usually used orange juice and wanted to see how it would turn out….fabulous! I bet the orange peel added a lot of flavor. Great idea Judilyn!
Great recipe yet simple.Mouth watering dish.Thanks for sharing.
You’re welcome! We all love simple…lol
It looks like I would take a spoon and just eat the sauce only
Hahaha that sounds like a great idea!
Pancakes always taste like dessert! 🙂 Seriously, nice. I am partial to the wild blueberries from Maine and eastern Canada, but aren’t you lucky to have them in your backyard!
I have always wanted to taste them fresh from Maine. We visited Maine years ago but they were out of season so I bought a can of them….lol I am sure it was no comparison to fresh but as I remember the were small and sweet.
I have used the canned ones for off-season pies and muffins for years. Frozen ones are available now, too. But nothing is better than your own backyard!!!
Looks yummy
Thank you Adithya it was amazing. It should be a dessert…lol
Yum!
Thank you! 💖
Perfectly executed! My blueberry bushes produced gallons of berries this year and I froze most of them. I added some to pancake batter but did not take the time to make a sauce, like you did. Your pancakes look marvelous and I am sure that they taste as good as they look. The thing I take away from this is that I should go the extra mile and make something great, instead of just good. Thanks!
Thank you for such a nice comment! This is one time going the extra mile was really worth it. I even saved the leftovers for ice cream.
Will be trying this, love blueberries. The thought of that over ice cream.
Happy retirement Diane hope you enjoy it much I’m going to enjoy this sauce 🎉
Enjoy George it was very, very good! I could make this a dessert any day! lol
Definitely enjoying retirement already. Thank you!
Pancakes beautiful!
Thank you this is one of my favorite meals!
Oh my <3 🙁 I need to try thissss!!! I thought when I met the strawberry that was the one for me but NO sir, blueberry you are the one!!! Haha!
Be careful Tammy it is very addicting……lol
Lolol!!!! I take your warning!
Looks
appetizing!
It was amazing…thanks so much!
Yummy recipe! The photos are making me hungry. I love making compotes and sauces with summer fruits. It give me an excuse to make pancakes.
And waffles! hahahaha Thank you!
Reblogged this on .
Thank you!
Love the photos. Blueberry is really such an interesting color for food and also in decor. Wouldn’t a blueberry glaze be delicious as a wall technique?! Hummmm…we may try that.

Thank you! You are always thinking décor! Now if you could get the blueberry scent in that wall glaze….lol
Those pancakes look delicious – do you remember Smuckers blueberry and strawberry syrup from years ago? We used to have it for a treat years ago.
Yes and I still visit Smucker’s in Orville, Ohio twice a year. It is a beautiful store.
I didn’t know they had a store – I’ll be darned. I think Willard Scott the weatherman used to be sponsored by Smucker’s for sending birthday wishes to people who reached 100 years old. Smuckers has been around as long as I’ve lived here in the States – 53 years.
Yes Willard did that for years. The store is wonderful. Every month they change the theme and showcase different dishes and such. They have an entire wall of their jams and jelly’s plus everything else. It’s huge.
I never knew they did that Diane and their jars always look so homey with the gingham tops. That blueberry and strawberry syrup was such a treat!
I’m going to make this with some pancakes. Thank you!
Enjoy it makes for a great meal!
I never thought of using apple sauce for a blueberry sauce that is genius!!!! Also it looks super yummy!
