Blueberry Syrup Recipes

Steps:

• Simmer 12 minutes.
• Cool and bottle.

Steps:

• Combine sugar and cornstarch in a large pot. Pour in water, corn syrup, and lemon juice. Stir in blueberries and vanilla bean. Bring to a boil, reduce heat, and simmer until thickened and infused with vanilla flavor, about 5 minutes. Remove syrup from heat.
• Strain syrup into 3 hot, sterilized half-pint canning jars, filling to within 1/4 inch of the top. Wipe the rims of the jars with a moist paper towel to remove any residue. Top with lids and screw on rings.
• Place a rack in the bottom of a large stockpot and fill halfway with water. Bring to a boil and lower jars into the boiling water using a holder. Leave a 2-inch space between the jars. Pour in more boiling water if necessary to bring the water level to at least 1 inch above the tops of the jars. Bring the water to a rolling boil, cover the pot, and process for 10 minutes.
• Remove the jars from the stockpot and place onto a cloth-covered or wood surface, several inches apart, until cool, about 1 hour. Press the top of each lid with a finger, ensuring that the seal is tight (lid does not move up or down at all). Store in a cool, dark area.

Steps:

• In a small saucepan, combine the sugars, blueberries and water. Bring to a boil; cook and stir for 2 minutes. Remove from the heat; stir in the preserves and maple flavoring. Refrigerate leftovers.

Steps:

• Pour the blueberries into a saucepan and crush them with a potato masher or a wooden spoon until most of the skins are broken.
• Add 1 cup of water and strips of lemon peel and bring to a simmer.
• Turn heat down to low and cook the berries for 5 minutes at just under a simmer.
• Pour the hot berries into a strainer lined with two layers of cheesecloth and let the blueberry juice drip through.
• Twist the cloth to extract all the juice; there should be about 2 cups.
• Discard the berry pulp.
• Combine the remaining 2 cups water with the sugar in a small saucepan.
• Bring the mixture to a boil, stirring, until the sugar is dissolved and the mixture is clear.
• Wash down the sides of the pan with a wet pastry brush, then boil the syrup, without stirring, until it reaches 260 degrees on a candy thermometer.
• Add the blueberry syrup to the sugar syrup and bring the mixture to boil.
• Boil for 1 minute. Let the syrup cool, then add lemon juice to taste. Pour the syrup into two pint jars and refrigerate if you plan to use it in a month or two.
• To can (for indefinite storage) Pour into canning jars with 1/2 inch headspace. Process in hot water bath for 30 minutes.
• Cool.

Steps:

• 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.

Steps:

• Combine berries, sugar and lemon juice in a saucepan and bring to a simmer. Mash some of the berries with a fork to release juices. Serve warm.

Steps:

• Add the blueberries, sugar, lemon juice and 1 cup water to a saucepan. Bring to a simmer and cook for 10 minutes. Strain into a mason jar. Let cool completely. Will keep in the fridge for about 2 weeks.

Steps:

• Stir together blueberries and sugar in a small saucepan over medium heat. Cook, stirring occasionally, until sugar dissolves and berries release their juices, 10 to 12 minutes. Strain syrup (do not press down on berries); discard solids. Refrigerate until cool.

Steps:

• Combine 1 cup blueberries and the lemon juice in a medium saucepan. Cook over medium heat, stirring often, until some berries begin to pop, about 2 minutes. Reduce the heat to medium-low and cook, stirring occasionally, until about half the berries have burst and the liquid has thickened, about 5 minutes.
• Stir in 1/3 cup syrup for a compote consistency and 1/2 cup for a thinner sauce. Add the remaining 1 cup blueberries, raise the heat to medium and simmer, stirring occasionally, until slightly thickened and some whole berries remain, about 5 minutes. Use immediately or refrigerate in an airtight container for up to 1 week.
• Reheat until warm to spoon over pancakes, waffles, French toast, scones, oatmeal or other hot breakfast treats, or grilled pork, chicken or steak. Serve cold over yogurt, ice cream, sorbet, pudding, custard, cheesecake or ricotta toast.
