Instant Pot Homemade Blueberry Syrup

Instant Pot Homemade Blueberry Syrup

Nothing like the taste of fresh blueberries. If you grow your own or get from a farmers market or CSA and looking for a way to use them up, this is a great recipe to try. It is a recipe for Instant Pot homemade blueberry syrup or some may call it a sauce.

Homemade blueberry syrup or sauce is great on pancakes, biscuits, toast, ice cream, cakes and all kinds of other things.

This is a super easy recipe to make and does not take a lot of cooking skills. There are two options for this recipe. After cooking, you can either leave all of the pulp in the homemade blueberry syrup/sauce so that you get all the full vitamins and fiber that the blueberries have to offer. This is what I do when I make ours.

However, if you do not want that thick and chunky feel to the syrup/sauce, you can strain it so that it is smooth. You can do this using a screen strainer and push it through with the back of a spoon. Another great option (and I think an easier one) is to put it in a nut bag and squeeze the juice out.

This recipe is sweetened with dates and raw honey. If you are someone that needs things even sweeter and do not watch your sugar intake, you can replace them with 1 cup of organic sugar.

Don’t have an Instant Pot? No worries, you can still make this recipe using a pot on the stove. Simply use the same directions as below but instead of putting in the Instant Pot, put it in a pot on the stove. Cook on medium heat until the berries are super soft and easy to mash.
