Blueberry sauce is a sauce prepared using blueberries as a primary ingredient. [1] It is typically prepared as a reduction, and can be used as a dessert sauce or savory sauce depending on the preparation. It can also be used in the preparation of the blueberry Martini.
Fresh or frozen blueberries, [2] and sometimes wild blueberries are used. [3] The sauce may be prepared to have a smooth or chunky texture. [4] Straining the sauce using a sieve to remove particulate matter creates a smooth texture. [5] It can be preserved by freezing for later use. [6] There are sweet and savory versions of the sauce.
Savory blueberry sauces can be prepared without a sweetener, [7] or with a small amount of sweetener, [1] [8] and additional ingredients used can include cider vinegar, chicken broth, lemon juice, salt, pepper and corn starch. [1] [8] The sauce is used to top various savory dishes such as roasted pork, chicken, lamb and duck. [1] [8] [9] It is sometimes served on the side, rather than atop dishes. [10]
Sweet blueberry sauce, also called blueberry compote, may be used as a dessert sauce. [11] Blueberries and water provide the base for the sauce, [12] but beyond that recipes vary. A sweetener such as sugar is typically used, and lemon juice, orange juice, butter and corn starch are sometimes added. [2] [13] [10] [14] [15] A spiced version can be made using cloves, cinnamon and cardamom. [16] Sweet blueberry sauce can be used in or to top desserts such as cheesecake, cake, and ice cream, and on breakfast dishes such as pancakes, waffles and French toast. [17] [5] [16] [18] It can also be used to create a blueberry fool. [19]
