Ingredients
- 2 cups fresh blueberries
- 1 cup pure maple syrup
- 0.25 cup water
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon cornstarch
Directions
Step 1
Wash the blueberries thoroughly under cold running water and drain them well.
Step 2
In a medium saucepan, combine the blueberries, maple syrup, and water over medium heat.
Step 3
Allow the mixture to come to a simmer, gently stirring occasionally. Simmer for 8-10 minutes, or until the blueberries begin to burst and release their juices.
Step 4
In a small bowl, whisk together the lemon juice and cornstarch until smooth.
Step 5
Add the lemon juice and cornstarch mixture to the saucepan. Stir continuously for 2-3 minutes, or until the syrup thickens slightly.
Step 6
Remove the saucepan from the heat and let the syrup cool for 5 minutes. For a smoother texture, you can strain the syrup through a fine mesh sieve, or leave it chunky for a more rustic feel.
Step 7
Serve warm over pancakes, waffles, or any dish of your choice, or store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 1 week.
