Restaurant Blueberry Syrup for Anything

Blueberries have never had it so good. Whether you pick and freeze your own or just pick up some at your grocery store, blueberries are fantastic versatile fruit. My family loves blueberry pancakes with a fresh homemade Restaurant Blueberry Syrup dripping over the sides. While it may be daunting to make syrup, it’s actually very easy. All you need is a cup or two of fresh or frozen blueberries and some sugar. Restaurant Blueberry Syrup is sure to put a smile on your family’s faces.

What Sugar to Use in Restaurant Blueberry Syrup

Natural sugars work best in Restaurant Blueberry Syrup. I tend to use raw sugar because I like the flavor and the fact that it’s not as refined. I have used white sugar and that works very well, as does agave syrup. I stay away from artificial sweeteners as they do not melt well nor provide the clean sweetness that I prefer with my blueberry. Use the sugar your family likes best for the best results with Restaurant Blueberry Syrup.

Blueberry Bread Pudding Makes the Perfect Dessert

Bread pudding is one of those treats often seen when dining out, but you hardly ever hear of anyone making it at home. It was not a treat made at my home when I was growing up, but after making it once, it became a big hit. One of the great things about bread pudding is the ability to add seasonal fruit, beyond the traditional raisins. I love making Blueberry Bread Pudding, and my family loves when I make it. It’s simple, takes just a few minutes to put together, and when you serve it, it’s elegant and perfect for company.

The Bread Makes a Difference in Blueberry Bread Pudding

The bread really does make a difference in Blueberry Bread Pudding. Dense breads, such as a boule or Italian make good Blueberry Bread Pudding. I checked out the breadmaker at a local farmer’s market and found a wonderful brown bread for this recipe. It adds another level of flavor to the Blueberry Bread Pudding. Choose a bread that is rich and dense for the best Blueberry Bread Pudding. Also, cutting the bread and leaving it out overnight to get stale, or toasting it in the oven for a few minutes before mixing it with the wet ingredients makes for a much better, less soggy Blueberry Bread Pudding.

5 eggs
2 C raw or granulated sugar

½ C dried blueberries

The Birth of Blueberry Glazed French Toast

French toast has many incarnations in my house. Every season seems to bring a new flavor or style to the breakfast table, and when I found blueberry swirl bread, I was set for a blueberry incarnation of French toast. Blueberry Glazed French Toast was born in my kitchen. And it was amazing! So much so, that I have been asked for an encore!

It’s all in the Blueberries: Blueberry Glazed French Toast

In my area, Aunt Millie’s makes a delicious blueberry swirl bread in the spring. Being the blueberry lover that I am, I picked some up for toast, thinking my kids would love it. It ended up that my kids looked at the blueberries I had brought home from a local farmer’s market and asked me if I could make them into syrup and the bread into French toast. The bread was great on its own, but the fresh picked blueberries, bursting with flavor and sweet juiciness, really made the Blueberry Glazed French Toast. Choose berries that are plump and dark blue, with a smooth skin. You’ll have a bright flavor that will compliment not only blueberry swirl bread, but any bread that you want to make French toast from. The more flavor in your blueberries, the more flavor in your final dish. To really bring out the flavor of the berries, here’s a secret: cinnamon and lemon peel. Not things you would expect, but the lemon really brightens the blueberries, and the cinnamon brings out just a bit of the earthiness, making people wonder what you did to make the sauce taste so good! I add both of those to my fresh blueberry pie too!

Blueberry Glazed French Toast Recipe ~ Wake Up to Berries!

Ingredients

1 pint blueberries
1/2 C water
1/2 t lemon zest, finely diced
1 T flour
1/2 t ground cinnamon
1 loaf blueberry swirl bread (or other favorite bread)
3 eggs
2 T milk or half n half
Pam cooking spray

Instructions

Rinse the blueberries in cold water and place in a small saucepan. Add the water and lemon zest. Warm to a simmer.
Add the flour and stir to remove any lumps. Allow the mixture to thicken. Add the cinnamon and remove from the heat.
While the blueberries are simmering, heat a griddle or pan to medium high heat.
Whisk the eggs and milk together in a shallow bowl.
Dip bread in mixture, turning to coat.
Spray griddle with Pam. Place the wet bread on the griddle and cook until brown. Turn and brown the other side.
To serve, place slices of French toast on a plate. Ladle some blueberry sauce over the top and serve hot.

Bring in the Spring with Fresh Blueberry Pie

Fresh Blueberry Pie is a fantastic spring and early summer dessert that is so simple to make, but tastes like spring itself. When blueberries are in season, pick up some of the ripest, plumpest berries for this delicious pie. If you’d like to have pie later in the season, rinse the berries and let them drip dry, then freeze them on a parchment covered baking sheet. Once frozen, toss them in a plastic zippy bag and put back in the freezer for later use. I try to freeze mine in 1 pound bags so I know I have them premeasured for recipes.

Cleaning Berries for Fresh Blueberry Pie

Choose berries that are dark purple and plump. Watch for mold between berries. I gently shake the package to make sure. Before making the Fresh Blueberry Pie, rinse the berries in a colander, picking out any that are wrinkled or overripe, as well as any stems. Let them drip dry for a little bit as the extra water can make for a runny pie.

The “Secret Ingredient” in Fresh Blueberry Pie

Every recipe needs a secret ingredient, and Fresh Blueberry Pie is no different. Freshly grated lemon zest, just the yellow skin, not the white pith, make Fresh Blueberry Pie stand out from the rest. It provides a brightness for the blueberries, accentuating the flavor without overpowering it. A dash of cinnamon rounds out the flavor nicely, providing a rich, deep flavor.

If you would like to make the crust from scratch, try our pie crust recipe.

Fresh Blueberry Pie has Options!

Making a fresh pie doesn’t need to be difficult to be spectacular. Fresh Blueberry Pie is simple and beautiful. But you can change it up too! My favorite childhood pie was blueberry with peaches. Simply freeze the blueberries until peaches are in season, then use about a cup less than normal. Slice two or three peaches on top before placing the crust on the pie. Their sweetness will compliment the berries well and provide another texture in your pie.

If you are asked to bring dessert to a gathering, or maybe you are hankering for an easy dessert, pick up some blueberries at your favorite market. Fresh Blueberry Pie will fit the bill!
