Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups fresh or frozen blueberries
- 0.5 cups water
- 0.75 cups granulated sugar
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 1 tablespoon cornstarch
- 1 tablespoon cold water
Instructions
In a medium saucepan, combine the blueberries, 0.5 cups of water, granulated sugar, and lemon juice.
Place the saucepan over medium heat and cook, stirring occasionally, for about 5-7 minutes, or until the blueberries begin to break down and release their juices.
In a small bowl, whisk together the cornstarch and 1 tablespoon of cold water until smooth and lump-free.
Slowly pour the cornstarch mixture into the saucepan while stirring continuously.
Bring the mixture to a gentle simmer and cook for 2-3 minutes until the syrup thickens to your desired consistency. Continue stirring to prevent scorching.
If you prefer a smooth syrup, strain the mixture through a fine mesh sieve to remove the blueberry skins. If you enjoy a chunkier texture, leave it as is.
Remove from heat and allow the syrup to cool slightly. Transfer to a clean jar or container and let it cool completely before storing.
Serve over pancakes, waffles, yogurt, or any dessert of your choice. Store leftovers in the refrigerator for up to 1 week.
