    This is a great recipe. One can also change ingredient quantities to make a thicker blueberry glaze. I personally also add a touch of black pepper to my blueberry recipes to add subtle depth to the flavor.

    Perfect and so easy to make. I originally made this as a cheesecake topping, but have ended up using it on so many other things like pancakes, French toast, waffles, angel food cake, etc. Definitely a keeper!
