Berry Maple Syrup Ingredients:

• Fresh or frozen berries. I used a mixture of blueberries, blackberries, and raspberries.
• Pure maple syrup
• Granulated sugar
• Lemon zest, optional

To make Seed-free:

More a fan of jelly than jam? I got you.

To make Berry Maple Syrup seed-free: Simply use berries that don't have any sizeable seeds, such as blueberries or strawberries. Currants may also work, but they aren't as readily available.

How to Make Homemade Berry Maple Syrup:

Part of what makes this recipe so great is how easy and fast it is to make.

Get the berry pancake syrup ingredients simmering on the stove top just before you start pan-frying your pancakes (or making waffles) and keep warm until serving.

• Step One: Rinse berries, if using fresh. Place in a small saucepan over medium heat.
• Step Two: Add in the sugar, maple syrup, and (optional) lemon zest. Stir to combine.

• Step Three: Cook for 7-10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the blueberries burst and the other berries start to break down. You'll know you're getting close when the berries become very vibrant.

• Step Four: Turn down to Low and keep warm for serving over top pancakes.

Equipment

You only need basic kitchen tools to make Berry Maple Syrup. I recommend:

• A small saucepan
• A mason jar
• A silicone spatula makes scraping all of the syrup from the pot a breeze.

How to Store Berry Maple Syrup:

Store leftover berry pancake syrup in a mason jar in the refrigerator. Consume within 2-3 days. You can serve cold, or reheat in a pot over low on the stove top.

Notes on Homemade Berry Maple Syrup:

• This recipe is incredibly versatile. You may use any combination of berries you'd like, including frozen mixes.
• Use pure maple syrup. Other pancake syrups on the market don't even contain a lick of real maple syrup! The following ingredients are from Mrs. Butterworth, her cheap self: high-fructose corn syrup, corn syrup, caramel color, artificial flavors, preservatives, and more. Buy a large container of pure maple syrup from a wholesale club, such as Sam's Club, for extra savings. I've had the same giant container in my fridge for six months now!
• Use only blueberries to make blueberry maple syrup, which is also seed-free.
• Serve berry maple syrup for holiday and special occasion breakfasts, such as Christmas, Easter, Mother's Day, or Valentine's Day.
