Blueberry Sauce
Initially, I made this simple yet amazing sauce to try out with a cheesecake, but it goes great with pancakes, French toast, waffles, or basically anything that needs a bit of a sweet and sticky boost!. By thickening it a bit more, it can even work as jam, but i like it to be a little watery. They key really is to find ripe blueberries; I've made this sauce twice--the first time with young blueberries and second with ripe and the latter definitely tasted better, but I had to adjust the amount of sugar to compensate for the extra sweetness ripe berries add to the mix. The orange zest is something I decided to add in at the last minute just to have a bit of a zing, and it works very well!
