Blueberry Syrup

Blueberry Syrup A little over a month ago I had a customer send me a message... " I ate some stuff at a place and you poured it out and it was like blueberry syrup and it had whole blueberries in it you could put it over pancakes it was like a syrup that you poured over pancakes and it was floating in blueberries ...do you know how to make that?" Sure! I can do that! So he ordered 6 QUARTS of Blueberry Syrup! LOL Usually it takes double the berries to make the amount of syrup you want, but since he wants whole berries in the syrup that helps with the volume. However, if you don't want the whole berries in your syrup, remember you will need twice the fruit for the yeild you want.  This is 6 pounds of blueberries, water and sugar.  Boil until the temperature reaches 225 degrees. Yeilds 6 quarts of Blueberry Syrup including whole berries. Blueberry Syrup 1 1/2 pounds blueberries 4 cups water 2 cups sugar 3 tablespoons fresh lemon juice In a pot, combine the blueberries with ...

Lemon Blueberry Bread

I doubled this recipe and baked two loaves of this lemon blueberry bread for the first time today, somewhat of a risk since I'd never tried it before, and I think I'm in love! I love lemon, and this has a ton of lemon flavor, plus the combination of tart and sweet is perfect. The soft texture of the bread is just right. This is definitely not the last time I will make this sweet bread.
