Homemade Blueberry Syrup

I recently discovered Costco- I know, where have I been? We got a membership a few months ago but I wasn’t really utilizing it fully. I finally got a chance to go sans children and go up and down every aisle to see everything they offered. I told my husband that I was “just going to browse” and he quickly quipped back that we don’t have money for that. Ha- apparently he knows me too well, because I came home with about $50 worth of fruit.

They had SO much organic produce to choose from. I came home with mangoes, cherries, blackberries, and blueberries. They had gorgeous flats of strawberries and plums that smelled fresh from the farm, but I had to draw the line somewhere. Fruit is one area that I don’t mind buying in bulk because my family goes through it in no time. Turned out though that I had already bought blueberries from our local grocery, so I had PLENTY of blueberries to go around. I decided to use some of them up in this delicious homemade blueberry syrup.

This blueberry sauce is perfect spooned over pancakes, waffles, yogurt, or ice cream. It would be heavenly over cheesecake!

• 2 cups blueberries
• ¼ cup sugar
• 1 tbsp lemon juice

1. Combine all ingredients in a small saucepan.
2. Bring to a boil; reduce to a simmer, and cook until most of the berries have burst,about 8 to 10 minutes.
