  2. Add dissolved custard powder to the saucepan and bring mixture to a rolling boil.
  3. Turn heat down and simmer on low heat for 2-3 minutes, or until sauce reaches desired consistency.

Comments: Blueberries feature among the top anti-inflammatory foods. As per a study documented by NCBI, the crude extract of blueberry displayed antinociceptive (anti-pain)  and anti-inflammatory activity, and it was concluded that its consumption could be helpful for the treatment of inflammatory disorders.
