Homemade Blueberry Syrup is absolutely a must-try homemade syrup for your pancakes. If you love blueberries, this will be your favorite pancake syrup from the moment you taste it. It’s a simple recipe with fresh blueberries, sugar, lemon juice, and some POM juice.
I have been having so much fun making different syrups. I am not planning on stopping any time soon so I hope you are along for the ride!
My boys have been having even more fun with the different flavors. They are big pancake fans around here. I also used this delicious syrup to make blueberry mini cheesecakes. The cheesecakes will be shared with you tomorrow! Are you excited?
Note: the pomegranate here is really not noticeable. The blueberry flavor completely takes over. Delicious!
Don’t forget about the Coconut Syrup that I shared last week, it’s also divine!
Homemade Blueberry Syrup
Ingredients
- 12 oz blueberries
- 1/3 cup white granulated sugar
- 1 tbsp lemon juice
- 1 cup Blueberry/Pomegranate POM juice
- 3 tbsp cornstarch
- 1/2 cup brown sugar
- 1/3 cup white granulated sugar
Instructions
- In a small sauce pot, combine blueberries, lemon juice and 1/3 cup of sugar. Cook, covered, on medium low heat for about 15 minutes. Stir occasionally. The blueberries should be fully cooked and mushy.
- Run the blueberry mixture through the strainer to get the juice out. Press the blueberries into the strainer to get all the juice (you can use the leftover blueberries in yogurt, pancakes or waffles.)
- Return the blueberry juice to the sauce pot and add the remaining sugar, cornstarch and POM juice while constantly whisking.
- Bring the mixture to boil on medium high and lower the heat to medium. Cook the mixture until thickens, whisking frequently. Cook for about 10-15 minutes.
- Cool completely before serving.

My family gobbled their pancakes down and couldn’t stop telling me how much they loved them. These were a big hit with this delicious syrup.

April says
How much does this make and how long does it last in the fridge?
lyuba says
Hello, April! It makes about 12 oz and I am not sure about the shelf life. Since it’s cooked with a lot of sugar, I would say that it will keep in the fridge for a while. We had it in the fridge for about a 4 weeks before we finished it. Keep refrigerated with the lid tightly on the jar.

You can also always can it, in a hot water bath for about 10-20 mins for both pints and half-pints. Then let them cool overnight in a draft free place without touching them. (You may want to exempt the cornstarch, not sure how well that cans). The texture also changes after 6-8 months, but can last up to 12 months.
lyuba says
You can definitely try it! I’m not sure if the sugar amount is enough for canning but I am not a canning expert 🙂 I always helped but never did it on my own.
Nicole says
I’m going off my experience with strawberry syrup that I canned in the past. I am assuming that the natural sugar of the blueberry mixed with the added sugar is enough. But that will be a great experiment to try and with about 22 lbs of blueberries I’ll have plenty to try with if I do small batches.
lyuba says
That’s true. I hope it works out well and I hope you let me know!

Blueberries are my favorite fruit too. I would probably love this syrup just eating it with a spoon 🙂 Thanks for sharing on Thursdays Treasures.
