Wild Blueberry Maple Syrup (Two Ingredients)

Sometimes the simplest recipes are the best! Growing up in Northwestern Ontario there was always fresh, wild blueberries in the summer. Let me tell you there is nothing better than those delicious berries on a warm summer morning. But did you know you can buy frozen wild blueberries and while they might not be freshly picked, they’re still delicious and pretty darn close to the real deal! I decided to use them today to create a delicious Wild Blueberry Maple Syrup.

It took literally zero effort and now I have a homemade sauce that’s always ready for breakfast, desserts and the occasional Monte Cristo sandwich. In a small pot, I heated a bit of maple syrup and some blueberries together. The blueberries flavour the syrup and you end up with the perfect topping for ice cream and obviously Grandpa’s Cabin Pancakes. It’s ah-mazing! A definite must make!

How to make Wild Blueberry Maple Syrup

Ingredients

• 1 cup real Maple syrup
• 2 cups frozen wild blueberries

Instructions

1. In a small, heavy-bottomed saucepan stir together the maple syrup and the frozen blueberries and heat on medium until it starts to foam, about 20-25 minutes.
2. Remove from the heat and mash the berries with the back of a wooden spoon.
3. Strain and store in an airtight container in the fridge.

This blueberry sauce is the perfect marriage between maple syrup (already so good) and wild blueberries (um hello flavour)! You still get the maple syrup flavour but with a fresh zing from the delicious blueberries. We are in love with this easy sauce in our house, it’s disappearing quicker than I expected! Vanilla ice cream and Wild Blueberry Maple Syrup anyone?
