Blueberry Syrup
Ingredients
- 1 cup sugar
- 1 cup blueberries
- 1 cup water
Instructions
- In a medium saucepan bring all ingredients to a boil, turn the temperature to medium and cook 2 minutes.
- Pour mixture into a strainer and press with the back of a spoon or use a berry strainer press to remove all the flesh of the berries.
- The result is a silky smooth blueberry syrup.
- Allow the syrup to cool completely before refrigerating, it will keep for up to 4 weeks in the fridge.
- You can serve it hot over pancakes and go ahead and throw on some blueberries and whipped cream too, that is the way I like them!
Notes
The better the fruit, the better the syrup. It's best to choose sweet delicious berries. If the blueberries you have are not the best tasting, adding in a teaspoon of vanilla extract or lemon extract will help give you a better tasting syrup. Some times we can't control what the berries will taste like, especially if they are not in season.
