Blueberry Syrup

August 17, 2014 By sue Leave a Comment

P1040068Once I’d figured out that the birds were neatly picking the blueberries before I’d even realised they were ripening, I was able to net the plants and get a regular handful of blueberries for my morning smoothie.  I spied a recipe for Blueberry Syrup and bought a couple punnets of blueberries to make it – I was hooked! I bought several more punnets while they were cheap(ish) and put them in the freezer, and decided then and there that I needed to plant some more blueberry plants so that I would have enough to freeze.

Blueberry Syrup

2 cups fresh or frozen blueberries

1 cup sugar

1/3 cup water

1 tbsp lemon juice

1/2 tsp ground cinnamon

Combine all ingredients in a saucepan.  Bring to a boil over high heat, reduce heat, cover and boil gently for 10 minutes or until fruit is tender.  Strain through a sieve and discard solids.  Pour syrup into a clear jar with a tight-fitting lid and store in the refrigerator.  Makes about 250ml or a bit more.


This syrup is delicious on anything you like from icecream to waffles.  I regularly stir some through Greek yoghurt.  It makes a nice hostess gift too.
