Step-by-Step Instructions
First things first, I like to preheat my oven to 375°F (190°C). While it’s warming up, I wash the fresh blueberries and gently combine them in a mixing bowl with half a cup of sugar, lemon juice, vanilla extract, cornstarch, and a pinch of salt. It’s amazing how the blueberries start to glisten and release their juices. It’s a sight that makes me excited for the final product! Once everything is mixed well, I set it aside to let the flavors meld together. (See the next page below to continue steps…)
