  • 1
    To make blueberry sauce, in 2-quart saucepan, heat to boiling blueberries, 1 cup water and the sugar over medium heat. Stir in lemon juice.

    To assemble desserts, spoon small amount of blueberry sauce in bottom of each serving glass or dish. Carefully pour panna cotta mixture over sauce. Let stand at room temperature about 20 minutes. Refrigerate 3 to 4 hours before serving.

  • Cut down on an extra step; replace the blueberry sauce with your favorite jam.
  • Don’t have a vanilla bean on hand? Just replace the vanilla bean with 2 teaspoons of vanilla. By doing this, there is no need to steep.
  • Make a double batch of blueberry sauce. Just refrigerate and serve over ice cream or pie!
