Blueberry Sauce

This is a quick and easy (and delicious) way to use fresh fruit and berries.  It's versatile and not too sweet, so it's great on lots of things.

Recipe:
1 cup Water
1/2 cup Sugar
1-2 pints Berries

Bring water to a boil, add sugar and simmer for about 5 minutes.
Add berries and stir to coat.  Simmer for 5-10 minutes, stirring occasionally.
Remove from heat and cool for 5 minutes.  Puree with an immersion blender or regular blender until smooth.

I flavored my blueberry sauce with vanilla and balsamic vinegar, which I added along with the berries.  I think fresh herbs would also be a good (and seasonal) addition.  It's nice and summery, and a great way to use up fresh produce.

And of course it's good on ice cream.
