Blueberry Topping for Cheesecake

• active time: 1 minute
• total time: 7 minutes

Ingredients

320 grams (2 cups) blueberries

70 grams (1/3 cup) granulated sugar

2 teaspoons fresh lemon juice

165 grams (1/2 cup and 3 tablespoons) water

4 teaspoons cornstarch

Directions

Place cornstarch in a small bowl and dissolve with 3 tablespoons of water using a spoon. Set aside.

Place the blueberries, sugar, lemon juice and 1/2 cup of water into a medium saucepan over medium heat and gently stir with a spoon/spatula without breaking down the blueberries. Some will naturally break down, that’s fine. Let the mixture come to a boil.

Once it boils, lower the heat and add the cornstarch mixture. Continue to stir for 1-2 more minutes. When you place a spoon into your mixture, the sauce should coat the back of a spoon and there should be a line visible when you run your finger through the spoon. This sauce will thicken as it cools so you shouldn't wait for it to completly thicken to remove from heat.
