  • “This is super!! Made this up the night before and served it for Sunday breakfast. I warmed it a little before serving. Had to use frozen blueberries, but they worked just fine. Sure is a simple recipe to make! We had it with pancakes, and have already decided to try it on waffles. I think this would also be good over vanilla ice cream! Thanks for a great recipe, Barbara!”

  • “What a treat!!Very easy and yet soooo yummy on pancakes.I used frozen blueberries also.Looking forward to making this one again!”

  • “YUMMY! This was so good and so easy to make. I do not think I will be able to eat my pancakes without this again. This is the second time I have made this. The first with fresh and this time with frozen. Both turned out fantastic! Thanks so much for sharing.”

  • “Talk about simplicity!I did it with frozen blueberries with no problem.Then, I decided to make it with fresh strawberries.The house smells great!Thank you for the simple recipe.”

  • “Thanks for the recipe.It was very good and I was glad to have this recipe when I didn’t have traditional syrup.I did add a tablespoon of gluten-free flour and a 1/4 cup of corn syrup.”

  • “Great stuff!It reminds me of the blueberry syrup I have had as a kid when visiting my grandparents in Maine.Simple but so delicious!Thanks for sharing.”

  • “Out of maple syrup but that’s okay when you have this! It turned out great, the only thing I did differently was to blend it with a hand blender before I jared it. It is so pretty in the jar with the seeds flecked through it. It is going to be great with our waffles in the morning. Can’t wait! Thanks!Update:This set up in the fridge like jam…well I guess it is jam!Still great, I just warmed it up before pouring on my oatmeal waffles!”

  • “Excellent, fast, easy recipe. Used fresh Alaskan Blueberries on the first batch, so good I had to make another batch, this time I used 2 cups fresh blueberries, 0.5 cup of fresh raspberries, and just a little less than 1T of cornstarch.Awesome. Thanks.”

  • “The flavor was spot on! I had buttermilk blueberry pancakes with blueberry syrup at Cracker Barrel and had to find a way to eat it at home! Smitten Kitchen’s Buttermilk Blueberry Pancakes work perfectly, for those that love blueberry overload, with this recipe. I mash my blueberries in the pot as much as possible before the cooking is complete. And, I also strain out the blueberries before serving. Otherwise, although I love the texture, we ended up with some people with all blueberries and no syrup. We have made this countless times since discovering the recipe 2-3 months ago.”

  • “Fantastic!I served over whole-wheat blueberry pancakes.Yummy and filling!”

  • “Soooo good! The lemnon adds a complexity to the syrup. :)”

  • “Really yummy and super easy too.We served it with maple syrup over pancakes.”

  • “awesome! super tasty i used a berry medley and added about a tablespoon of cornstarch it was fantastic for pancakes and icecream, thanks”

  • “Wonderful addition to Blueberry Sour Cream Pancakes. I halved the recipe and mashed the blueberries through a strainer to get a more pulpy consistency. This syrup was the highlight to breakfast, I could have almost had it to drink. I can’t imagine blueberry pancakes without this syrup ever again!!”

  • “I used this today when I made your blueberry pancakes. I must say that it was very very good! I do something very close to this when I make blueberry and cheese danish. I wish I had added the corn starch to make it thicker. I’ll definitely try that next time. I used frozen berries that I put up earlier this year. I found that the sweetness of this syrup set off the perfect explosion of tastebuds in my mouth when paired with the pancakes. Excellent job! I am adding a photo of the finished product. I spoke with my mom about this recipe. She said that if you cook the sugar and water a bit before adding the berries and lemon juice that the syrup will be thicker and more syrup like.”

  • “Loved it! Used frozen wild blueberries and served over pancakes. Will make again. Thanks for sharing your recipe!”

  • “Perfect! I realized I was low on maple syrup so I decided to give this a shot. In order to have it thicken a little quicker I added about 2 tsp ofcorn starch. Everyone loved it! Not too sweet, not too tart, just right.”

  • “We loved the flavor, very easy to make just wish it wasn’t so runny, thanks for the great recipe.”

  • “Yummy!I cooked this up just before serving it on our waffles.I will be using this tonight on our cheesecake as well.Thanks for the wonderful recipe.”

  • “I made this yesterday and we had it this morning on warm, homemade waffles. We added a spoonful of whipped cream to the top and it was heavenly! The kids used it to add flavoring to homemade snowcones. And, I plan to use it to make blueberry swirled ice cream tomorrow. What a versatile recipe! The frozen blueberries I usedtasted wonderful. Thanks!”
