Ingredients

2 cups picked-over blueberries
3/4 cup sugar
1/8 teaspoon salt
1 cup milk

Preparation

  1. Step 1

    In a saucepan bring blueberries, sugar, and salt to a boil over moderate heat, mashing berries and stirring with a fork. Simmer mixture, stirring frequently, 5 minutes and cool slightly.
