Maine Wild Blueberry Syrup

It is Sunday here at the Padgett house and that means WAFFLES! Since we just got back from Maine last Sunday I thought we would recapture a little of the flavor we are missing by taking those berries I froze and making them into syrup for our waffles. This recipe is simple, low glycemic and yummy. One batch made enough for all four of us who were eating waffles.

Maine Wild Blueberry Syrup

1 1/2 cup maine low bush blueberries ( I expect you could use canned or commercially frozen blueberries as well. The original recipe I modified called for canned blueberries.)

1/2 cup agave nectar( we use whole foods 365 brand raw nectar)

1/2 tsp lemon juice

dash salt

dash cinnamon( a little more if you really want to taste the cinnamon, the agave flavor overshadows it a fair bit)

1 Tbsp constarch

Combine all ingredients except cornstarch in a small saucepan over medium heat. Once the blueberries are a little watery remove about 1Tbsp liquid to a small bowl and combine with the cornstarch. Add resulting liquid back to pan. Once syrup boils remove the pan from heat. This can be served hot or cold. It was a big hit here.
