My husband has been in search of blueberry (or other berry) syrup for years. Nothing satisfies. He wants a sugar-based recipe, though maple is okay. It has to be completely natural, preferably organic. And it has to taste good with a strong fruit flavor.
There were some decent brands in the past, but he hasn’t had any luck lately. So I made some. It’s very easy but my version was a bit too sweet. He ate it though, and just ran out.
So today I made some more and it came out perfect. It also freezes beautifully. I use half pint mason jars with the plastic twist-on lids.
Recipe:
2 cups sugar
2 cups water
6 cups frozen blueberries
Put the sugar then water into a cooking pot. Heat on low and stir until the sugar dissolves.
Add the blueberries and cook until they’re soft and the mixture has gone down a bit.
Stick blend the pot until the consistency is smooth (or chunky if you prefer). If you don’t have a stick blender, you can pour it into a regular blender, though you may need to do it in stages.
Continue to cook on low heat until the water level goes down about an inch.
Let cool and put into containers.
Makes 7 half pints.
