Тәжірибелік нұсқаулар және стиль
This simple, 6-ingredient blueberry frosting is naturally colored and flavored and can be prepared with either fresh or frozen berries. It's vibrant, flavorful, and comes together easily!
Recipe: sugarspunrun.com/blueberry-fr...
Ingredients
1 cup fresh or frozen blueberries (140g)
1 Tablespoon granulated sugar
1 Tablespoon lemon juice
⅛ teaspoon salt
1 cup unsalted butter, softened (226g)
3 ½ cups powdered sugar (438g)

Instructions
00:00 Introduction
00:21 Combine blueberries, sugar, lemon juice and salt in a small or medium-sized saucepan and stir well.
00:56 Place on stovetop over medium-low heat and stir frequently until the berries are softened and release their juices. Smash the berries with your spatula (or with a potato masher) as they soften.
01:31 Bring mixture to a gentle simmer or slow bubble (don’t bring to a full rolling boil, reduce the stovetop heat if needed) and cook until the mixture is thickened and the spoon leaves trails in the sauce.
02:07 Pour through a fine mesh strainer into a heatproof container. Squeeze as much of the sauce through the strainer as possible and discard the remnants. You should have approximately ¼ cup (65g) of sauce (if you have less that’s fine, but if you have more it may not be reduced enough).
02:36 Allow to cool completely before proceeding with the recipe.
02:55 Place butter in a large mixing bowl and use an electric mixer to beat until light and smooth.
03:29 Gradually add powdered sugar to the butter, stirring until completely combined.
03:59 Add the cooled blueberry sauce by stirring in 1 Tablespoon at a time until completely combined. You should only have about 4 Tablespoons (66g) of sauce or less, if you have more than this your sauce may be thinner so check the consistency at 4 Tablespoons before proceeding. Adding too much sauce could cause the frosting to break.
Notes
Storing
Store unused frosting in an airtight container in the refrigerator. To use, bring to room temperature, stir again, then apply to your cakes or cupcakes as desired. Once prepared it will keep for up to 5 days. Cakes/cupcakes frosted with this frosting should be stored in the refrigerator in an airtight container.
Amount
This recipe makes approximately 2 ½ cups (675g) of frosting. I find this will generously cover 12-18 cupcakes, modestly cover 24 cupcakes, or cover one 9x13 cake, or one 2-layer 8” or 9” cake.

I just found you through from your peanut butter chocolate chip muffin video that you posted like 4 years ago and while I was watching it and I could tell you were maybe still a little nervous or camera shy or something but it was still pretty good. I was thinking, man this feels like the beginning of a legit youtube channel. I wonder if she kept at it. Then I checked your channel and you did, you kept at it, and you are like actually totally legit. Well done

Welcome to the channel! I can't wait to hear how you enjoy everything you make! :)
You should try wild blueberries because they have more flavor IMHO. I’ve never been fortunate enough to get them fresh, but the frozen ones I’ve had are nice. Also, cardamom goes really well with blueberries in case you’ve never tried it. Awesome , color coordinated video!!! 🥳🇺🇸

Love your recipes! Does the blueberry sauce work with an Italian Meringue Buttercream?
Hi Sam! Made this frosting today (had to make cupcakes to go with it: made your vanilla cupcake recipe!). Everything came out as planned, had just a little over 4 tbsp of blueberry sauce. Was wondering if yours also has a butter taste to it? Before everyone starts saying "duh, it's BUTTERcream", I make buttercream often and it doesn't usually taste of butter. I just want to verify if I did something wrong or, if this is normal, perhaps because blueberries have a subtle flavor?
Sugar Spun, could you do a video on (if possible) healthier marble pound cake? Can't use dark chocolate though
I'm not a blueberry fan...because of the solids/texture of the fruit...but you might have just converted me with this frosting!
