Blueberry Syrup

This is a great syrup that you can use on Pancakes, Waffles, French Toast, Ice Cream, Cheesecake, or anything else you want to smother in Blueberries.

• 2 1/2 Cups THRIVE Blueberries
• 3 Cups Water
• 1/2 Cup Orange Juice
• 3/4 Cup THRIVE Brown Sugar
• 1/2 tsp Almond Extract
• 1/8 tsp Cinnamon
• 1 1/2 Tbsp Corn Starch
• 1 1/2 Tbsp Water

Place the blueberries into a 2 quart microwave-safe bowl.  Stir in 3 cups water and let sit for 10 minutes.  Stir in the orange juice, brown sugar, almond extract, and cinnamon.  In a separate small bowl mix the cornstarch with 1 1/2 Tbps water.  Stir into the blueberry mixture until well mixed.  

Microwave the blueberry mixture for 8 minutes stirring occasionally.  Remove from the microwave and let cool on the counter for 30 minutes.  The syrup will thicken as it cools.  Cover and store in the fridge for up to a week. If it is to thick for your liking, add a little water to thin it out.

Makes approximately 3 cups.
