Fine Mesh Stainless Steel Strainer
Spoon

Ingredients

\1 Cup of Organic Fresh or Frozen Blueberries
\3/4 Cup of Filtered Water
\1/2 Cup of Maple Syrup or Organic Cane Sugar
\1/2 Teaspoon of Vanilla Extract
\1 Pinch of Salt
\1/4 Teaspoon of Fresh Lemon Juice, Optional

Instructions

  1. In a small saucepan, combine blueberries, water, sweetener, cinnamon, and salt.
  2. Bring to a simmer over medium heat, gently mashing the blueberries as they cook.
  3. Simmer for 15 minutes until the berries are broken down and the mixture slightly thickens.
  4. Remove from heat. Stir in vanilla extract and optional lemon juice.
  5. Strain through a fine mesh strainer into a glass jar or bottle, pressing to extract as much liquid as possible.
  6. Let cool to room temperature before sealing and refrigerating.

Notes

  • For a stronger "muffin" flavor, steep ½ tsp butter extract or a small piece of split vanilla bean in the syrup during simmering, then remove before storing.
  • If you want a thicker consistency for drizzling, simmer an extra 5–7 minutes or add ¼ tsp arrowroot starch slurry (optional).
  • Stir well before each use as natural ingredients may settle.
