Step-By-Step Instructions For Homemade Blueberry Syrup

Start by adding the blueberries to a saucepan.

I used frozen blueberries, but you can also use fresh blueberries for the recipe.

If you use frozen, you will just have to cook them a little longer.

Cook the blueberries for about 10 minutes on medium heat, or until the blueberries release their juices and the berries soften.

Stir occasionally.

You can see in the picture above how the blueberries will begin to look as you cook them.

While the blueberries cook, grab a bowl and add the sugar.

Next, add the cornstarch.

The cornstarch is going to help thicken the syrup as it cooks.

Now, add the salt to the bowl.

Add the ground cinnamon to the bowl and mix the ingredients together.

Once the blueberries are soft, add the sugar mixture to the saucepan, and mix well.

The cooking time is about four to five minutes or until the syrup thickens. Be sure to stir occasionally to keep the syrup from sticking to the bottom of the pan.

Finally, pour the lemon juice into the pan, as well as the lemon zest, and mix.

The lemon zest is optional.

Once the blueberries are done cooking, you can pour it into a jar and save for later, add right on top of ice cream, or pour on top of pancakes as pancake syrup.

The recipe makes an amazing addition to French toast, plain pancakes, or an ice cream topping. Give it a try!
