Blueberry Simple Syrup
16
Vanessa Fregoso
"This flavored simple syrup is very versatile and goes with so many things. I especially like to put it on top of French toast, in pancake or waffle batter, and it's very yummy in cornbread or biscuit batter. This can be made in advanced and stored and refrigerated in a glass jar."

Footnotes
- Cook's Note:
- This recipe works very well with other berries such as strawberries, raspberries, and blackberries. If doing raspberries and blackberries, the seeds can be strained out for a smoother syrup.
- To make a thicker syrup that you can use on top of pancakes, stir in a mixture of 1 tablespoon cornstarch and 1/2 tablespoon water into the syrup just before bringing it to a boil.

I love it. I did it on french toast and it was wonderful. Only change was to add 1 tbsp of corn starch that I mixed with water before adding 3/4 of the way through because I like my syrup a litt...

This was waaaayyyy to sweet. So sweet I had to dump it. Sweeter than true maple syrup. You could easily cut the sugar in half and it would still be sweet enough.

Loved it on pancakes. 3 days later used the leftovers over ice cream at a get-together and still tasted fantastic! Scaled back on the sugar to just over 1/2 cp and was still yummy.
