Frequently Asked Questions

Can I use frozen blueberries instead of fresh ones?

Yes, you can absolutely use frozen blueberries in this recipe. However, it's important to ensure they are completely defrosted before using them.

Can I freeze the blueberry sauce for later use?

Yes, you can definitely freeze the blueberry sauce for later use. Once you've prepared the sauce, allow it to cool completely before transferring it to a freezer-safe container or ice cube trays for easy portioning. Then, store it in the freezer for up to several months.

Is there a way to make this sauce thicker or thinner?

Yes, if you'd like the sauce thicker, you can reduce it for a longer period or use less water. Conversely, if you prefer a thinner consistency, you can reduce the reduction time or add a bit more liquid to the mixture.

Can I use a blender instead of a food processor?

Yes, you can use a blender as an alternative to a food processor. However, it's important not to overblend the sauce, as this may result in a smoother consistency than desired.
