Blueberry Syrup Recipe
This homemade blueberry syrup takes just 15 minutes and 4 simple ingredients. Perfect for pancakes, waffles, coffee, and desserts, it’s fresh, fruity, and way better than store-bought!
Ingredients
Main
- 1 cup blueberries fresh or frozen
- 1 cup warm water
- 1 cup white sugar
- 1 teaspoon lemon juice
Optional
- ½ teaspoon vanilla extract sweet depth
- 1 cinnamon stick warm spice note
- ½ cup honey instead of sugar, for natural sweetness
Instructions
- Wash blueberries (if fresh) and remove any stems. Frozen blueberries can be used directly.
- In a saucepan, combine water and sugar. Heat on medium until sugar dissolves.
- Add blueberries and bring to a gentle boil. Reduce heat and simmer for 8–10 minutes, until berries soften and release juices.
- Stir in lemon juice. Add vanilla or cinnamon if using.
- For smooth syrup, strain mixture through a fine mesh sieve. For pancake-style syrup, leave some fruit chunks.
- Let cool, then transfer to a clean glass jar. Refrigerate up to 2 weeks.
