Blueberry Syrup
Description
Blueberry Syrup is made by boiling blueberries with sugar and water, then simmering until the berries break down. The mixture is strained through a fine mesh to separate the smooth syrup from blueberry solids. This simple method yields a clear syrup with concentrated blueberry flavor and sweetness from white sugar.
The syrup can be stored refrigerated for up to two weeks. It is suitable as a topping for pancakes or ice cream, or as a mixer in beverages. The recipe notes that frozen blueberries can be used after thawing, and alternative sweeteners like honey or agave are compatible.
For thicker syrup, adding a small amount of cornstarch or xanthan gum can improve viscosity. The syrup can also be frozen in sealed jars for longer storage. These details make it a practical homemade fruit syrup.
Ingredients
- 2 cups Blueberry
- 1 cup granulated sugar white, 200g
- ¾ cup water
Instructions
- Add all ingredients to a pot. Stir it together, bring to the boil, then reduce the heat and simmer for 10 minutes, until the blueberries break down.
- Place a fine mesh strainer over a bowl or jug and pour in the mixture. Press the blueberries into the strainer to extract as much blueberry syrup as possible.
- Allow the mixture to cool, then pour into a sanitized jar or bottle and keep in the fridge for up to 2 weeks.
Notes
- Frozen blueberries should be completely thawed before cooking for best results.
- Sweeteners like honey, agave, or coconut sugar can replace granulated sugar.
- To thicken the syrup, add a small amount of cornstarch mixed with water or xanthan gum.
- For freezing, leave space in the container as the syrup expands; thaw in the fridge overnight before use.
