Blueberries and Pancakes are combined in this easy to make homemade Blueberry Pancake Syrup.
Fresh from the garden blueberries are the best. Really they are delicious!
This year we had a great blueberry year and my freezer is now stocked with blueberries for us to enjoy this fall and winter. And not only is my freezer well-stocked, we have also been enjoying them in all kinds of salads and desserts.
When I got back from vacation last week we had quite a few blueberries still coming from the garden. The advantage to planting several varieties is that blueberry season lasts for at least a month, sometimes longer.
Because I was trying to catch up on things last week I kept the meals pretty simple. One morning though I knew I wanted to incorporate some blueberries into the meal, but I still wanted to keep it quick and easy. I decided blueberry syrup over pancakes would be perfect.
Pancakes with fruit or fruit syrup are a summer favorite at our house, so when I realized that I had never shared homemade blueberry syrup with you, I knew I needed to fix that and share it while it was still blueberry season.
If you love blueberries and have never had blueberry pancake syrup this is a must try. It takes pancakes to a whole new level of deliciousness.

Lynn – I have purchased a multi berry syrup and am wondering if I can make this syrup with several berries. Blackberry, Blueberry and Raspberry or Cherry? With the same ingredients?
I have not tried it, but I think you could. I think a blackberry, blueberry, and raspberry combo would be good. If you don’t want the seeds you could strain it to remove the seeds. I think my mom made some multi berry syrup years ago, but it could have just been jam that didn’t set up because she often called jam or jelly that didn’t set up the syrup.
