Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups Blueberries (fresh or frozen)
- 0.5 cups Granulated sugar
- 0.5 cups Water
- 1 tablespoon Lemon juice (freshly squeezed)
- 1 tablespoon Cornstarch
- 2 tablespoons Cold water (for cornstarch slurry)
- 0.5 teaspoons Vanilla extract
Instructions
In a medium saucepan, combine the blueberries, granulated sugar, water, and lemon juice.
Place the saucepan over medium heat and bring the mixture to a gentle simmer, stirring occasionally until the blueberries begin to break down and release their juices, about 5-7 minutes.
In a small bowl, whisk together the cornstarch and cold water to create a smooth slurry.
Reduce the heat to low and slowly pour the cornstarch slurry into the saucepan, stirring constantly to avoid lumps.
Continue to simmer the mixture, stirring frequently, until it thickens to a syrupy consistency, about 2-3 minutes.
Remove the saucepan from the heat and stir in the vanilla extract for added depth of flavor.
Allow the syrup to cool slightly before serving. It will thicken further as it cools.
Serve warm over pancakes, waffles, or your favorite breakfast dish. Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 1 week.
