Ingredients:
- 1 cup blueberries ((fresh or frozen))
- ½ cup water
- ½ cup sugar ((or honey))
- ¼ cup lemon juice ((fresh squeezed, about half a large lemon))
Instruction:
- (Optional) If you like smooth syrup, blitz the berries and water in a food processor (or NutriBullet). If you like a bit of berry in your syrup, you can skip this step.
- In a small saucepan, bring the berries, water, sugar (or honey), and lemon juice to a low boil. Then, reduce heat to simmer, stirring occasionally. Simmer for about 10-15 minutes, or until the syrup begins to thicken to its ‘syrupy’ consistency (*see note).
- Remove from heat and allow it to thicken as it cools. Use warm right away, or store in an airtight container for later use.

How do you thicken homemade berry syrup?
In a small bowl, combine equal amounts of cornstarch and warm water, starting with 3 tablespoons (44 mL) of each. Mix them together with a spoon until they form a gritty paste. Cornstarch is a thickening agent that won’t change the flavor of your syrup.
