Shortly after discovering my new favorite baked oatmeal, I came across this blueberry topping recipe. Although it was supposed to be a topping for waffles, I thought it sounded like the perfect pairing for baked oatmeal.* This recipe is so simple and I cannot even explain how well it turned out. I could literally drink it, no joke! While tasting the sweet sauce, which has a bit of tang from the lemon juice, I started imaging all of the things this could top - ice cream, bread pudding, cupcakes, pound cake, angel food cake, you get the idea. This sauce definitely goes in the "keeper" file and will be used many more times in the years to come. Make it, you won't regret it and your friends and family will think you're a genius in the kitchen.

Blueberry Sauce
Makes: about 2 cups
Ingredients
4 cups blueberries
1/4 cup granulated sugar
1 Tbs lemon juice
Put 2 cups of the blueberries in a bowl and mash with a potato masher. Add sugar and remaining 2 cups of blueberries. Stir to combine. Let sit for 30 minutes. After 30 minutes, pour blueberry mixture, including all accumulated juices into a small sauce pan, over medium heat. Stir frequently for about 6 minutes, or until sauce slightly thickens. Remove from stove and let cool for 1 hour. Serve!
*When using as an oatmeal topping, I modified my baked oatmeal recipe by removing the 1/3 cup brown sugar, apples and walnuts.
