One of my favorite parts of summer has always been the blueberries. My kids also got this love from me and come summertime it's one of the most eaten snacks around my house!
Easy Homemade Blueberry Syrup Recipe
We have made so many recipes with blueberries from my Blueberry Pancake Bites to my Easy Blueberry Freezer Jam. We made a batch of wild blueberry muffins. But we had some leftovers and my kids were begging for pancakes, so I made some blueberry syrup to go with it.
Pour this syrup over our Vanilla Blueberry Overnight French Toast Casserole

Using a colander or food mill break up berries. I like larger berries, so I do not use a food processor. If you want a smooth non chunky syrup, I suggest a food processor.
Place syrup in HOT jars if you are planning to can it. Wipe rim off the jar, place lid and secure hand tight. Process in a water bath for 20 min, adjust for altitude.
Allow jars to cool and store in a cool dark place for up to 18 months.

Love your recipes. Thank you for sharing
The blueberry casserole recipe sounds great. However, I will buy some blueberry syrup. What will the measurement for a batch be? Additionally, if I do make the syrup, how many jars will I need?
