Just thinking of this sauce makes me drool a little.
I made it this past weekend, because… well… I found the recipe and didn’t think I could go on if I didn’t make it.
I was right.
It is life changing.
I decreased the amount of sugar in the recipe because, let’s be honest – we all know that I get enough sugar. Plus, I really wanted to be able to taste the blueberries.
I spooned it over some tart frozen yogurt – incredible!
And I may have drizzled a bit over my yogurt and fruit throughout the week.
It makes the days so much better.
But my favorite use for it?
That would be eating it off the spoon.
I am one classy lady.
Blueberry Caramel Sauce
from Eating Well
2 cups fresh blueberries
5 tablespoons water
3/4 cup sugar
1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
pinch of sea salt
Combine blueberries, 1 tablespoon water and a pinch of sea salt in a saucepan over low heat. Stir and mash until blueberries become a sauce-like consistency, about 5 minutes. Set aside.
In another saucepan combine water, 1/2 tablespoon lemon juice and sugar. Stir over low heat until sugar dissolves, then increase heat and boil without stirring until syrup is golden. Occasionally swirl pan, cooking for about 7-8 minutes.
Remove from heat, stir in blueberry sauce and let stand 5 minutes.
Stir in remaining lemon juice and let cool to room temperature.
Go make this caramel sauce. And then grab a spoon and dig in. It will make you do the happy dance.

Oh my heavens! That’s all I have to say.
OH.MY.SWEET.GOODNESS!!!

How sweet and yummy! Of course licking it off the spoon is always best…then again dunking a cookie in this sauce wouldn’t be bad either! xo
I can assure you that I’d eat this off the spoon as well
Your photos are looking amazing, by the way!!

YUM! It does look good enough to eat by the spoonful! I am thinking it would be amazing drizzled over cheesecake, too!
Your pictures are so beautiful!!!

Oooh there is so much we could do with this sauce! Thanks for posting…looks delicious!
Anything blueberry makes me weak in the knees!!
Oh yum! I think this would be good drizzled on oatmeal for breakfast!
Um… yum!
maybe a dumb question – does it taste like caramel? have the consistency of caramel? I’m confused by that for some reason…
Yep! Tastes like caramel with blueberries – and it is almost as thick as regular caramel, but gets a bit thinner when you combine the blueberry sauce.
I bet that would be a great pancake topping
MMM! Pancake topping… that sounds perfect!
Yum!! I would want this over pancakes. Actually, strike the would. I will make this and put it over pancakes.
There are no words to describe how amazing this sounds…
ooh I just happen to have some of the Trader Joe’s tart fro yo on hand. I’ll need to try this!
I would totally eat this with a spoon. Or put it on my oatmeal! Or definitely yogurt too. It’s such a pretty color!
Yummmmmm. Yep, I think that about sums it up!
Oh my. Wow.
So simple, but so delicious! I am most definitely drooling too!
Mmmm, that looks so yummy. I’m droolin’ over here!
Okay, so I go ga-ga over pretty much every recipe you post, but I really REALLY want this. Immediately. As in, I’m writing down the ingredients on my grocery list as soon as I hit “submit comment.”
mmmmmmmm we made a similar sauce recently (but not as much sugar–next time MUST ADD MORE SUGAR) and ate it over buttermilk waffles…definitely a good choice, I highly recommend!
YUM! I bet this would be delicious over pancakes! (Currently craving pancakes…)
This would be good on anything. I bet it would even be good on chicken. Just throwing that out there.
Ooh! That looks like something I would eat by the jarful!! Love your scalloped spoon
What a lovely color! That sauce must be divine.
Cheers,
Rosa

Seriously? Amazing!!
This looks phenomenal. I think I’d put it on everything.
YUM! That would taste SO delicious on pancakes and waffles!
that looks gorgeous. i’m going to an adults only ice cream party (not sexual though it sounds that way) saturday and bringing a much less healthy ice cream sauce – PB fudge. Cannot wait to try it!
Yum!
I am seriously drooling over these pictures!
How did you manage to eat such a small scoop of frozen yogurt with that sauce? I could easily clear a half gallon with that drizzled on top!
I’ve been wanting to make fruit caramels every since Deborah Madison’s new book! Thanks for the inspiration
That sauce looks fabulous! I’d love to eat it on oatmeal, pancakes, french toast, waffles, ice cream, yogurt, maybe even bacon – sweet and salty?!
So many possibilities!!
Amazing! Pass the jar and an extra large spoon, please!
Stunning photography!!! And what a recipe!! I am totally impressed!
Oh my gosh my mouth is watering! I need some blueberries and ice cream now!
