This sauce is fantastic! I used Splenda so that that I could use it for Weight Watchers' Core plan. I plan to try it with some cheesecake pudding. I halved the recipe, thinking it would be too much for just me, but I definitely could have made the full amount! Thanks for the recipe! Made for Healthy Choices ABC.

Excellent flavor and so easy to fix. I skipped step #1 and had my sauce done in 5 minutes. Used splenda for the sweetner and 1 teaspoon of cornstarch to thicken up a bit. If you use the cornstarch be sure and add with all the ingredients and stir to dissolve before heating. I used this on top of #248423 Healthy Protein Cheese Cake. This was a match made in heaven for my diet. Thanks ladypit.

Easy peasy, and yummy. I used fresh local blueberries but I think I added a bit too much freshly squeezed organic lemon juice and ours wasn't as sweet as it was meant to be but it was still good. I served this at room temperature overtop of a recipe I intend to post for a lightly chilled lebneh (an Middle Eastern cream cheese) cheese cake which I added close to serving time. It was excellent. I used organic lemon zest and organic cane sugar. I may make this again to go over some vanilla ice cream!

This was the BEST blueberry sauce I've ever had! I've studied nutrition for many years, blueberries are one of the top 5 healthiest foods to eat to prevent cancer, along with garlic, broccoli,onions,& cabbage...I always look for recipes that are easy, delicious & healthy; this was all three. We had this over pancakes, it was fantastic; we'll be making this often. Thanks

This sauce is so berry delicious! I used fresh blueberries, and substituted a little over 1/4 cup honey for the sugar. The lemon juice and zest made such a difference in this sauce, providing a really refreshing taste to compliment the sweetness. This sauce smells terrific too. Ladypit, my DH just loves this sauce...thanks.
