This recipe was submitted as a "syrup", but it's far more appropriate to call it a topping. Whole blueberries remain mostly intact as they swim in a thick, flavorful blueberry syrup. I increased the amount of cornstarch to 2 Tablespoons to get the thickness I wanted. I made mine in a sauce pan on the stove. I'll include directions for that method under the original microwave recipe. As for taste, this topping is fantastic. I had it on Whole Grain Blueberry Waffles for a double blueberry experience. I'm looking forward to having it in oatmeal tomorrow. Tip: Instead of using plain old water, use the flavorful liquid that drains from the thawing frozen berries. Good stuff!

How To Make Whole Berry Blueberry Syrup

In a 1 quart microwave-safe container, combine the sugar with the cornstarch. Stir in water, corn syrup and lemon juice. Add blueberries and stir.

Microwave on full power for 5 minutes or until thickened (check after 4 minutes).

Stores well in sealed container in refrigerator for a week. Best to reheat 45 seconds in microwave before using.





Stove Top Directions:

In a saucepan over medium heat, combine the water, sugar and cornstarch. Stir until all specks of cornstarch are incorporated. Add all remaining ingredients and allow mixture to reach a low boil. Stirring often, allow the topping to boil gently for 5 minutes. Remove from heat and let set 5 minutes before using.


This makes a great syrup. If you like it thicker or thinner adjust the amount of cornstarch by a teaspoon.

Rating (out of 5):

Tasted good, wasn't quite as thick as I wanted though, so I recommend upping the cornstarch, although I did cook mine over the stove because I was leery about the microwave... might have affected it, either way it tasted good, and I recommend adding some vanilla too.
