Preparation Steps
- In a medium saucepan, combine the blueberries, sugar, and water.
- Bring the mixture to a simmer over medium heat, stirring occasionally.

- Continue to simmer for 10-15 minutes, or until the blueberries have burst and the sauce has thickened. Stir in the lemon juice.
- Remove from heat and let cool slightly. The sauce will thicken further as it cools.

Notes
For a smoother sauce, you can blend it after cooking. Feel free to adjust the amount of sugar to your liking, depending on the sweetness of the blueberries.
