Instructions

1. In a medium saucepan over low-medium heat, combine the blueberries, lemon zest, lemon juice and sugar. Stir regularly until the berries release a lot of liquid and the mixture starts to boil.
2. Optional: mix the cornflour (cornstarch) with the water, then stir it into the blueberries. Alternatively, skip this and let the juice reduce naturally, which takes a little longer.
3. Lower the heat so the mixture just simmers.
4. Simmer for about 10 minutes, stirring every so often, until the blueberries have softened and the liquid has thickened to your liking.
5. Test: drag a spoon through the juice on the back of the spoon. It should leave a clear line that does not run, and take a few seconds to flow back to the sides of the pan when you stir.
6. Remove from the heat. Serve warm, at room temperature or cold. Store in an airtight jar for 7-10 days.
