We were making french toast and Jer wanted strawberries and whipped cream with it. I went to the store for thick sliced bread and strawberries. The strawberries were overpriced so I couldn't bring myself to buy them. Leila had already made the whipped cream, so we wanted some fruit with it still. I grabbed a bag of frozen blueberries and googled a syrup recipe. I modified it slightly. We used the syrup on the french toast and over ice cream. Both were delicious.
Blueberry Syrup
1-2 cup blueberries (frozen)
1/2 cup water
1 cup sugar
1 T cornstarch
If the blueberries have a lot of ice in the bag, rinse them first. Then put in a small saucepan and add water and sugar. Mash the berries a bit and bring to a boil over high heat. Cook and stir for 1-3 minutes, then in a small bowl, whisk together the cornstarch with about 1/2 T cold water, then stir it into the syrup mixture. Cook for about 1 more minute, then remove from heat. It will thicken as it cools.
