Blueberry Caramel Sauce

Ingredients

• 2 cups fresh blueberries
• 5 tablespoons water, divided
• Pinch of coarse kosher salt
• 1 1/2 cups sugar
• 2 teaspoons plus 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice

Steps

1. Combine berries, 1 tablespoon water, and coarse salt in medium saucepan. Stir and mash over medium-low heat until reduced to sauce consistency, about 4 minutes. Set aside.
2. Combine sugar, 4 tablespoons water, and 2 teaspoons lemon juice in large saucepan. Stir over medium-low heat until sugar dissolves. Increase heat and boil without stirring until syrup is golden amber, occasionally brushing down sides of pan with wet pastry brush and swirling pan, 9 minutes. Remove from heat. Stir in blueberry sauce; let stand 5 minutes.
3. Cool sauce to room temperature. Stir in remaining 1 tablespoon lemon juice.
