Any time that we go out to eat, we always take mental notes of how we can make dishes at home. Since we don’t eat out often in our home, we constantly want to be able recreate some of these dishes. It not only helps us save money, but because the ingredients are made in small batches at once, it’s usually ends up tasting better. One of our favorites places to get recipe inspiration is IHOP (or is it IHOB now?). One of our favorite things we’ve made are these Strawberry Cheesecake Pancakes With Homemade Whipped Topping. But another favorite is this Homemade Blueberry syrup we are sharing with you today!
Homemade Blueberry Syrup
Growing up, we had plain jane syrup. Usually Mrs. Butterworth. My entire childhood food profile can be summed up with plain jane. We didn’t veer off of that much. Luckily, I got out of that as an adult. If you’ve ever been to IHOP you know that nestled at the end of the table they have a variety of flavored syrups. One of those is blueberry syrup. Andrew wanted us to try to make one at home and the result of this homemade blueberry syrup is better than anything we’ve ever had at any restaurant. It’s even better if you can grab some fresh blueberries.
How To Make Blueberry Syrup
To a saucepan you add blueberries and maple syrup. Fresh or frozen blueberries can be used to make this easy homemade blueberry syrup recipe. Cook this mixture until the blueberries start to break down. After they start to breakdown, you’re going to add more blueberries and syrup, along with vanilla and lemon extracts, cinnamon and allspice. After the recipe is made, you can strain the blueberries out, blend it in a blender or leave it with chunks. Our girls love picking out the blueberries! This makes the the perfect blueberry syrup you’ve ever had. It’s even better than IHOP Blueberry syrup where we got the inspiration to make this recipe from.

I love blueberries but hadn’t considered making a syrup with them. I’ll have to give it a try for my next batch of pancakes. 🙂
