Preparation
Fresh or frozen blueberries, and sometimes wild blueberries are used. The sauce is prepared by mixing the ingredients using a food processor or blender and then heating them until the sauce reduces and thickens. It may be prepared to have a smooth or chunky texture. Straining the sauce using a sieve to remove particulate matter creates a smooth texture. It can be preserved by freezing for later use.
