Ingredients
Cornstarch Slurry (Optional for a thicker syrup)
- 1 tablespoon cornstarch 8 g
- 2 teaspoons water cold
Blueberry Syrup
- 1 cup granulated sugar 200g
- ¾ cup water filtered
- 1 cup blueberries fresh
- 2 tablespoons butter salted or unsalted is fine
- 1 teaspoon lemon juice preferably fresh
- 1 teaspoon lemon optional, zest, grated
- 1 pinch salt
Optional Mix-ins
- ½ cup blueberries optional for mixing into syrup, fresh
Instructions
Optional Cornstarch Slurry
- In a small bowl, stir together the cornstarch and 2 teaspoons of water to make a slurry. Set aside.
Blueberry Syrup
- In a small saucepan, combine sugar and water. Over medium-high heat, stirring constantly, bring to a boil and cook until sugar is completely dissolved, 4-5 minutes.
- Stir in blueberries and cornstarch slurry if using. Bring to a simmer and then turn the heat down to keep the sauce at just a gentle simmer. Simmer for 10 to 15 minutes, until the sauce is reduced and slightly thickened. When ready, it should easily and thickly coat the back of a spoon.
- Remove from heat, stir in butter, lemon juice, lemon zest, and pinch of salt. Strain for a completely smooth syrup or add additional blueberries for more of a chunky sauce. Let sauce sit for 10-15 minutes to cool before using.
- Serve over something delicious, and enjoy!
Notes
- To make a simple syrup that will mix into drinks, follow the recipe as written but omit the cornstarch slurry and the butter, and strain then syrup before storing. This will give you a thin but richly flavored syrup, perfect for drinks.
- Store syrup in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks. Syrup should be served warmed or at room temperature. To reheat, microwave in 15-second increments, stir and repeat until it reaches your preferred temperature.
- Recipe makes approximately 8 fl oz of syrup when not strained to remove cooked blueberries.
