How to Make Blueberry Syrup

Once you know how easy and versatile Blueberry Syrup is, you’ll be making it all of the time. Not only does it make a fantastic Blueberry Lime Spritzer but it’s also delicious on our fluffy American Buttermilk Pancakes for a special Pancake Day. Even the pulp gets used in our Blueberry Baked Oatmeal.  In pretty Kilner bottles, this syrup makes a lovely (and inexpensive) homemade gift.

Instructions
 

  • In a medium saucepan, combine the sugar, water and frozen blueberries.
  • On a medium heat, bring the ingredients together until the sugar dissolves.

  • Bring to a boil and let simmer for about 5 minutes until the syrup starts to thicken. Let cool for 30 – 40 minutes.
  • Using a fine mesh strainer, strain the syrup.
  • Reserve the pulp for Blueberry Baked Oatmeal.
  • Store the syrup in sterilised Kilner bottles.
