Ingredients
- 2 cups Blueberries (fresh or frozen)
- 0.5 cups Granulated sugar
- 0.5 cups Water
- 1 tablespoon Lemon juice (freshly squeezed)
- 1 tablespoon Cornstarch
- 2 tablespoons Cold water (for cornstarch slurry)
- 0.5 teaspoons Vanilla extract
Directions
Step 1
In a medium saucepan, combine the blueberries, granulated sugar, water, and lemon juice.
Step 2
Place the saucepan over medium heat and bring the mixture to a gentle simmer, stirring occasionally until the blueberries begin to break down and release their juices, about 5-7 minutes.
Step 3
In a small bowl, whisk together the cornstarch and cold water to create a smooth slurry.
Step 4
Reduce the heat to low and slowly pour the cornstarch slurry into the saucepan, stirring constantly to avoid lumps.
Step 5
Continue to simmer the mixture, stirring frequently, until it thickens to a syrupy consistency, about 2-3 minutes.
Step 6
Remove the saucepan from the heat and stir in the vanilla extract for added depth of flavor.
Step 7
Allow the syrup to cool slightly before serving. It will thicken further as it cools.
Step 8
Serve warm over pancakes, waffles, or your favorite breakfast dish. Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 1 week.
