Blueberry Syrup Recipe (2024)

Microwaving frozen blueberries makes a wonderful syrup for pancakes - no need for all of that sugar.

Unlike blueberries, raspberries are aggregate fruits--that is, a raspberry is actually dozens of tiny fruits growing together. Those tiny fruits, or bumps, are called drupletes. When cooked, raspberries fall apart into drupletes. The syrup won't be as "chunky" as the syrup you get with blueberries. IMHO, though, it's a very tasty raspberry syrup.

Anyone try this w/fresh raspberries rather than blueberries? How did it turn out?

This will seem truly weird. I had a blueberry sauce at a restaurant which was incredible. When I asked the chef for his secret ingredient, it was lavender flowers! I've never been a fan of any flowers in my food but this was a revelation and I have been adding them to this sauce ever since. Just a pinch.

i had no maple syrup in the house last week, so i made a similar syrup, but lower sugar, and perfectly sweet - about 1 cup frozen blueberries heated up with about a TBSP of blue agave syrup.Not a purist - whipping up a quick meal - heated the blueberry and agave, and then, for the last bit, a pat of butter (which i also add with maple syrup) in the microwave, on the pancake plate - no extra dishes) . i ate it right away, so no need for lemon to keep it from turning brown.) Easy-peasy.

You can also replace the maple syrup with up to one Tablespooon of vanilla. I use this with plain yogurt and walnuts. It helps reduce my sugar intake.

Blueberry compote without maple syrup — and whole blueberries—is easily achieved (and much fruitier) by cooking down the berries with sugar and lemon zest and lemon juice until the desired consistency, then throwing in a handful of fresh whole berries. I always add a bit of vanilla and cardamom to my blueberry compote for a really unusual and delicious flavor. It’s a great accompaniment to Ms Ko’s excellent lemon ricotta pancakes.

Made this today, 17 DEC 2022, as specified. Excellent outcome. Maybe next time I'll try it with strawberries or blackberries. Blueberries are an excellent source of nutrients. One cup (148-gram) of blueberries contains:- Fiber: 4 grams- Vitamin C: 24% of the RDI- Vitamin K: 36% of the RDI- Manganese: 25% of the RDI

I would probably add some lemon zest next time and cut back the maple syrup since it was a teensy bit too sweet, but absolutely delicious and will be made regularly. Maybe a small pinch of salt to offset the sweetness?

I made this with raspberries substituted lime and added a little bit of mint/a pinch of salt 👌🏼

This simple recipe made a special pancake fundraiser more special. Thank you!

I love it. Used it with pancakes and oats for a week. Making it the second time now.

Sometimes I just add a cup of frozen blueberries & a cup of frozen raspberries to the hot pan I just used to make the pancakes. After about a minute I remove them from the pan & they make a nice sauce, no need to add sugar or syrup.

Very good; nice and fluffy. FOR BEAUTIFUL PRESENTATION (and added nutrients) sprinkle slivered almonds on top while bottom is cooking. Then flip and cook as normal. When you take off the griddle, serve w/almond size up - really pretty.Substituted 1/4 whole wheat flour for all purpose and turned out fine.

These are the lightest, most wonderful pancakes. I often don’t care much for ricotta (I find its texture a bit gritty), but it works to perfection here. These come together easily and cook up beautifully. Normally, I make the blueberry syrup, per the recipe, but did it this morning with fresh strawberries and it was delicious (I’ve not tried raspberries, but I’d bet they would be terrific, too).

Absolutely wonderful with yogurt and granola for breakfast in the morning. I make this regularly now. It's so so easy. Personally, I really like the compote texture, and I reduce the maple syrup to 1/4 cup. You still end up with plenty of the blueberry syrup along with whole berriess at the end -- yum! Every once in a while, I'll add lemon zest, too.

I added cinnamon, rose water, and chopped fresh rosemary to serve with baked brie

I loved it! I added a teaspoon of sugar after it cooked for two minutes and then added pure maple syrup.I used it over ricotta pancakes. Delicious!

Wanted a twist of Southwestern flavor to use on a pork tenderloin ~ used only 1/3 cup of maple syrup, plus a dash of Grand Marnier. Let that boil down a bit, then added S&P, some diced fresh serrano, and a dash of ancho chile powder. Boiled it down to a reduction.

I made this with a mix of blueberries, raspberries and blackberries. Turned out delicious and was a big crowd pleaser.

I did this for the pancakes with raspberries, added a bit of grand marnier 1/2 cup and 1/2 cup sugar. used hand mixer to maked it liquid. delicious over ricotta pancakes.
