Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups Fresh blueberries
- 0.5 cups Water
- 1 tablespoon Lemon juice
- 0.25 cups Powdered erythritol (sugar substitute)
- 0.5 teaspoons Vanilla extract
- 0.25 teaspoons Xanthan gum (optional, for thickening)
Instructions
Rinse the blueberries thoroughly under cold water and drain them.
In a medium saucepan, combine the blueberries, water, and lemon juice. Place the pan over medium heat and bring the mixture to a simmer.
Use a spatula or spoon to gently mash some of the blueberries to release their juices while leaving others whole for texture.
Simmer the mixture for about 10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the blueberries are soft and the liquid has thickened slightly.
Add the powdered erythritol and stir until fully dissolved. Simmer for an additional 2-3 minutes.
Remove the saucepan from heat and stir in the vanilla extract. If you want a thicker syrup, sprinkle xanthan gum evenly over the surface and whisk quickly to incorporate. Let the syrup sit for 1-2 minutes to thicken.
Allow the syrup to cool slightly, then transfer it to a jar or container for storage. Serve warm or chilled as desired.
