Blueberry Syrup

Blueberries from our garden!

 

We have had blueberry bushes for the past three years, but they didn't produce much the first year, and last year the birds got to them. This year our blueberry farmer friend covered the bushes with a net and they have been producing like crazy for about the past month. We have made good use of them in our morning smoothies, in waffles, fruit salad, and in reprising a seafood favorite - blueberry salmon. And yet there are still more berries, so I decided to make some blueberry syrup. I found this super simple recipe online which I doubled because I had so very many blueberries. This calls for equal parts berries, sugar, and water, and a bit of lemon juice. We have used it on french toast, and in lieu of jelly on our English muffins. James is going to try putting some in the waffle batter this weekend.
