Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups fresh blueberries
- 0.5 cups granulated sugar
- 0.5 cups water
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 1 tablespoon cornstarch
- 2 tablespoons cold water
Instructions
In a medium saucepan, combine the fresh blueberries, granulated sugar, water, and lemon juice.
Place the saucepan over medium heat and bring the mixture to a simmer, stirring occasionally to dissolve the sugar and prevent sticking.
Allow the mixture to simmer for 5-7 minutes, or until the blueberries start to break down and release their juices.
In a small bowl, whisk together the cornstarch and cold water until smooth to create a slurry.
Slowly pour the cornstarch slurry into the blueberry mixture while stirring constantly to avoid clumping.
Continue simmering the syrup for an additional 2-4 minutes, or until it thickens to your desired consistency.
Remove the syrup from the heat and let it cool slightly before serving. For a smoother texture, you can strain the syrup through a fine mesh sieve to remove the berry skins (optional).
Serve warm or at room temperature drizzled over blueberry pancakes, waffles, or French toast. Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to one week.
