Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups fresh blueberries
- 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
- 0.5 teaspoons ground cinnamon
- 0.25 teaspoons ground nutmeg
- 0.25 teaspoons ground allspice
- 0.5 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 1 tablespoons lemon juice
- 0.25 cups water
Instructions
Rinse the blueberries under cold water and drain well.
In a medium-sized saucepan, combine the blueberries, granulated sugar, cinnamon, nutmeg, and allspice.
Add the water, lemon juice, and vanilla extract to the saucepan.
Place the saucepan over medium heat and bring the mixture to a simmer, stirring occasionally to dissolve the sugar and coat the blueberries in the spices.
Once the mixture begins to bubble, reduce the heat to low and let it simmer gently for 8-10 minutes, stirring occasionally to prevent sticking.
As the blueberries cook, they will release their juices and create a spiced syrup. If you prefer a thicker texture, gently mash some of the blueberries with the back of a spoon.
Remove the saucepan from heat and let the spiced blueberries cool for a few minutes. The syrup will thicken slightly as it cools.
Serve warm or chilled as a topping for pancakes, waffles, ice cream, yogurt, or cheesecake.
