Homemade Blueberry Syrup is super easy with one pint of blueberries and pantry staple ingredients! Perfect over pancakes, waffles, or vanilla ice cream!
As a kid, I used to LOVE going to IHOP because of all the different flavored syrups they had sitting there on the table. It was a rare event though, and now I’m SO GLAD I know how easy it is to make different flavored syrups at home! This Blueberry Syrup recipe literally takes about 5 minutes to pull together on the stove top.
Are fresh or frozen blueberries used in this recipe?
Either works! A pint of fresh blueberries, or 2 cups of frozen blueberries are interchangeable in this recipe. This is a great one to keep on hand if you plan a blueberry picking trip in the summer – or if you’re super lucky and have blueberry bushes in your own backyard. I’m super jealous if that’s the case!
Can sugar substitute be used?
Not in this recipe. The sugar melts down to create the syrup and sugar substitutes do not perform in the same way.
How is this blueberry syrup stored?
Keep this blueberry syrup in a lidded container in the fridge and either serve it cold, or warm it up slightly in the microwave before serving.
How to make blueberry syrup:
Stir together sugar and cornstarch in a saucepan. Whisk in water.
Stir in blueberries and bring mixture to a boil. Continue to boil for 1 minute while stirring constantly. Remove from heat; mixture will continue to thicken as it cools.
Blueberry syrup serving ideas:
- Pancakes
- Waffles
- Scones
- Vanilla ice cream (my favorite!)

Can homemade blueberry syrup be frozen?
Yes! If you have any leftover, just store it in a lidded freezer container and then just thaw in the fridge. I’m planning on doing this with my leftover blueberries from blueberry picking this year. You can never have too much blueberry syrup in my opinion!!

Easy and delicious on waffles! I made it with frozen wild blueberries. Added a squeeze of lemon juice, too.

Excellent and Easy! Used frozen Maine blueberries and added a splash of lemon juice. I also used tapioca starch instead of cornstarch just because I try to avoid corn. I will definitely make it again!

This is so quick and flavorful and, unlike some of the other berry recipe, not overly sweet, I doubled the recipe and it worked great.

Love this recipe. I tripled the recipe and yielded 6 half-pints. Used wild (small) frozen blueberries and added a splash of lemon juice. Sealed the sauce in half pint jars. Delicious! And great gift idea.
