Blueberry Syrup


  • Author: Sara McKenney
  • Total Time: 20 minutes
  • Yield: About 1 cup

Description

This homemade blueberry syrup is bursting with fresh berry flavor and is perfect for topping pancakes, waffles, yogurt, or desserts. Made with just a few ingredients, it’s quick to prepare and keeps well in the fridge or freezer.


Ingredients

  • 2 cups blueberries (fresh or frozen)
  • 1/2 cup sugar
  • 1/2 cup water
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice
  • 1 tablespoon cornstarch (optional, for thickening)
  • 2 tablespoons cold water (for cornstarch slurry, if used)

Instructions

  1. In a medium saucepan, combine the blueberries, sugar, lemon juice, and 1/2 cup water.
  2. Bring the mixture to a gentle simmer over medium heat, stirring occasionally.
  3. Once berries are soft (about 8–10 minutes), gently mash them with a spoon or potato masher.
  4. For thicker syrup, mix 1 tablespoon cornstarch with 2 tablespoons cold water and stir into the saucepan.
  5. Simmer an additional 2–3 minutes until thickened.
  6. For a smooth syrup, strain through a fine mesh sieve, pressing to extract all the juice.
  7. Let the syrup cool slightly before transferring to a clean jar or bottle.
  8. Store in the fridge for up to 2–3 weeks or freeze for longer storage.
