Blueberries

Freeze well. I usually mix a handful with savory spices (tumeric, black pepper, etc) into yogurt.

Countertop

Mash the blueberries up a bit and put them in a jar, do not overfill. A coffee filter may be necessary to keep bugs and what out. After a few days, the mixture should be slightly fizzy. If not, it may need yeast or some other starter to help get things going.

Sauce

1 heaping cup blueberries
1/4 cup water ideally cold
1 teaspoon cornstarch
1/4 teaspoon lemon powder (lemon juice and lemon zest would also be suitable)
a bit of apple cider vinegar (the lid is maybe a half teaspoon?)
thyme

Mix water, cornstarch, thyme, lemon powder, mix well. Heat to boil, add blueberries, and cook down for a bit on lower heat. You can start this before other dishes and leave it on a simmer and then finish it off when close to serving.

The original recipe recommended 1/4 cup sugar, but, really? Blueberries are already sweet enough.

The thyme stood out, probably need to use less, or to balance it out with something. Cardamon, maybe?

Maybe something else?
