Description

This homemade blueberry syrup is a simple and delicious topping perfect for pancakes, waffles, ice cream, or cheesecake. Made from fresh blueberries, sugar, and a touch of cornstarch to thicken, this syrup offers a fresh burst of fruit flavor with a smooth, pourable consistency. The natural sweetness of the blueberries combined with the slight richness from the syrup makes it an irresistible addition to breakfast or dessert dishes.

Ingredients

Scale

Thickening Mixture

  • 1 tbsp corn starch
  • 2 tbsp cold water

Syrup

  • 1 cup fresh blueberries
  • 1/2 cup sugar
  • 1/2 cup water

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Thickening Mixture: In a small bowl, combine 1 tablespoon of corn starch with 2 tablespoons of cold water. Stir well until the corn starch completely dissolves. Set aside this mixture to be added later for thickening the syrup.
  2. Simmer the Blueberries: In a medium saucepan, add 1 cup of fresh blueberries, 1/2 cup of sugar, and 1/2 cup of water. Place the saucepan over medium-low heat and gently simmer the mixture. There is no need to bring it to a full boil. Stir occasionally as the berries soften and start releasing their juices.
  3. Thicken the Syrup: When the berries have softened and the liquid begins to thicken slightly, gradually stir in the prepared corn starch mixture. Continue cooking and stirring over medium-low heat for about 20 minutes in total, until the syrup reaches a thick, syrupy consistency.
  4. Cool the Syrup: Remove the saucepan from the heat and allow the syrup to cool for approximately 5 minutes. The syrup will continue to thicken as it cools, yielding a rich and smooth texture perfect for pouring.
  5. Serve and Enjoy: Pour the blueberry syrup generously over waffles, pancakes, ice cream, or cheesecake. Enjoy the fresh fruity goodness with your favorite dishes!

Notes

  • This syrup is delicious as a topping not just for breakfast items like pancakes and waffles but also as a dessert sauce for ice cream or cheesecake.
  • Use fresh blueberries for the best flavor, but frozen blueberries can be substituted if fresh are not available.
  • The syrup can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to one week.
  • Adjust sugar quantity based on sweetness preference or if using sweeter blueberries.
