Yield 24

Number Of Ingredients 7

½ cup white sugar
1 tablespoon cornstarch
¼ cup water
¼ cup light corn syrup
2 teaspoons lemon juice, or more to taste
2 cups fresh blueberries
1 whole vanilla bean

  • 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.

BLUEBERRY SYRUP



Blueberry Syrup image

Run through with plump berries, this compote-meets-syrup mix makes any meal feel as leisurely as weekend brunch. A pair of natural sweeteners takes the place of refined sugar: Fresh berries cook down with only lemon juice to concentrate their natural summery sweetness, then earthy maple syrup adds depth. You can use the larger amount of syrup for a pancake pourable blend, or the smaller quantity for a spoonable topping.

Categories     sauces and gravies

Time 15m

Yield About 1 1/4 cups

Number Of Ingredients 3

2 cups blueberries
1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
1/3 to 1/2 cup pure maple syrup

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.

Tips for Making Blueberry Syrup:

- Choose ripe and fresh blueberries for the best flavor. - Use a heavy-bottomed saucepan to prevent scorching. - Simmer the blueberries over low heat to extract their flavor without burning them. - Add sugar to taste, starting with a small amount and increasing it as needed. - Stir the syrup frequently to prevent it from sticking to the bottom of the pan. - Strain the syrup through a fine-mesh sieve to remove any solids. - Store the syrup in a clean glass jar in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks.
