BLUEBERRY PANCAKE SYRUP - LOW CARB
This recipe uses powdered stevia as the sweetener. It has whole blueberries and looks nice on top of pancakes. This is modified from one I found on the web. I made this mildly sweet, but if you prefer a much sweeter syrup, then you may want to add a bit more stevia powder or maybe add a low carb flavored syrup.

HOMEMADE INSTANT PANCAKE MIX AND BLUEBERRY SYRUP
This is going to change your life irrevocably. Forgive any scintilla of self-congratulatory preening and accept my boast as simple, enthusiastic exuberance. That is the spirit in which it is intended. But I tell you: you just mix up the ingredients below, keep them in a container at easy reach and then every time you are required to be the usher-forth of good things of a morning, you just scoop some dry mixture out, mix with egg, milk and melted butter as directed and that's it. Pancakes a'plenty, without even having to think about it. You know it makes sense.

Tips:
- Use fresh blueberries: Fresh blueberries will give your syrup the best flavor and color. If you can't find fresh blueberries, you can use frozen blueberries, but thaw them completely before using.
- Choose a good sweetener: You can use sugar, honey, or maple syrup to sweeten your blueberry syrup. Sugar is the most common sweetener, but honey and maple syrup will give your syrup a more complex flavor.
- Add some spices: A little bit of spice can really enhance the flavor of your blueberry syrup. Try adding a cinnamon stick, a star anise pod, or a few cloves to your syrup while it's simmering.
- Strain your syrup: Once your syrup has cooled, strain it through a fine-mesh sieve to remove any solids. This will give your syrup a smooth, velvety texture.
- Store your syrup properly: Blueberry syrup can be stored in a jar or bottle in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks. You can also freeze your syrup for up to 6 months.
Conclusion:
Blueberry syrup is a delicious and versatile condiment that can be used on pancakes, waffles, french toast, ice cream, and more. It's also a great way to add a touch of sweetness to your favorite drinks, like lemonade or iced tea. With just a few simple ingredients and a little bit of time, you can make your own blueberry syrup at home. So next time you're looking for a delicious and easy way to sweeten your food or drinks, give blueberry syrup a try!
