Notes
Blueberry Sauce Note
Follow the same method as my full Blueberry Sauce in 15 Minutesrecipe, but since this is a smaller batch, it will cook and thicken faster. Keep an eye on it and cook just until thick and glossy, about 10 minutes. You can also make the full batch and store it in the refrigerator to use for breakfast and other recipes throughout the week.
