My review
Blueberry Simple Syrup
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."

Ready In
- Mix blueberries, water, and sugar together using a whisk in a small saucepan over low heat until sugar is dissolved, about 5 minutes. Increase heat to medium and bring a gentle boil, stirring often, until syrup is thickened, about 15 minutes.
- Whisk lemon juice into syrup; serve immediately or cool.
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 am rating this as a 3 because while it is lovely and delicious, it is not a simple syrup. It is in fact a compote. And no, I'm not "nitpicking" terminology. As chefs, mixologists at home or in...

I would like to clarify a few things about this recipe: The blueberries can be strained out if you prefer just an infused simple syrup. I have found that a some of my children like the blueberri...

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.

This is delicious! I used half as much sugar and thickened it a little with cornstarch as suggested by others. Thanks for a great and easy recipe--my family loved it!
