Wild Blueberry Syrup

Quick Blueberry Syrup

This is my hubby’s favorite, I try to have a small jar of it in the fridge all the time.  It makes a great ice cream, waffle, pancake or spoon topper….no lie, you’ll eat this stuff right out of the pan or jar.

Here’s the best part…it’s dead easy to make.

Wild Blueberry Syrup

 

I have never been able to grow blueberries.  I’m from northern Minnesota and they grow wild up there, but here in Colorado I think they take more mollycoddling than I’m willing to deal with.  So I buy blueberries, frozen….or fresh when I can.

The best blueberries for this sauce are wild blueberries.  I buy them at City Market in the freezer section.  You can make a cup or two of sauce with just a 1/2 to 3/4 cup of berries, so a bag of frozen will do 3 or 4 batches.

Here’s the instructions – look close – they’re quick!
