Sugar
Instructions
Put the blueberries and a bit of sugar in a saucepan.

Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to one week.
Making blueberry coulis
Notes:
Depending on the sweetness of the blueberries, you can skip the sugar. I usually add about a teaspoon of sugar to enhance the flavor and thicken the juice a bit.
Freeze summer blueberries so you can enjoy blueberry coulis all winter long.
You can also freeze the coulis itself so it's ready to thaw and serve.
