Want to learn how to can blueberry syrup? If so, you are in the right place. Flavored with honey-lavender tea, this syrup is delightful in drinks and over ice cream, pancakes, and waffles.

Hello friends, I hope your week has been summery and lovely. I really love June, all the benefits of summer without all the oppressive heat of July and August.  

Plus, June is gardenia blooming and blueberry picking time here in southeastern North Carolina. As a result, I am wishing that smell-o-vision has been invented because these gardenias that are sitting on my desk smell like I imagine heaven smells.

But I digress. Today I am bringing you a recipe for Honey-Lavender infused Blueberry Syrup. This syrup will be perfect for your upcoming 4th of July festivities, as well as general summer yumminess.

If you read my Blueberry Hand Pie post a few weeks ago, you’ll remember Kate and I picked 22 pounds of organic blueberries. We then spent the next week freezing, preserving and baking those blueberries.

One of my kiddos’ favorite ‘blueberry treats’ is blueberry syrup, they love it in seltzer water or poured over yogurt, pancakes, waffles or ice cream. As a result, this year, I decided to steep my blueberries in honey-lavender tea that Kate found; the honey-lavender really adds a lovely, delicate taste to the already delicious blueberry syrup.

I like to water bath can my blueberry syrup because it saves room in my freezer and preserves them for later in the year when the taste of summer’s blueberries is a real treat. But, you could just as easily freeze or refrigerate this blueberry syrup.

If you are new to canning, I highly recommend the Ball Complete Book of Home Preserving . It is the ‘bible’ for safe canning and preserving and should be the first purchase of any new canner.  Ooooh! When I just looked at the Ball book on Amazon, I realized that there is a new edition! It looks like my cookbook library inventory might increase with the addition of The All New Ball Book Of Canning And Preserving: Over 350 of the Best Canned, Jammed, Pickled, and Preserved Recipes!

 Your blueberry syrup will make lovely and refreshing blueberry spritzers. I add approximately 2 tablespoons per 8-10 ounces of seltzer but feel free to adjust the syrup to your taste.

In anticipation of the upcoming 4th of July celebrations, Kate and I made these spritzers a little festive! We cut stars out of apple slices (soaked in lemon juice) and strawberries. We then placed them on skewers along with a blueberry. You all loved the festive red, white, and blue sugar cookies that I shared earlier, so I am so excited to add another patriotic recipe to the mix!

These will be a tasty treat for our 4th of July party and a shot of vodka will make this a fantastic and refreshing  Blueberry Vodka Spritzer.

Well, friends, I know your holiday plans are shaping up! I hope you will enjoy many sparklers & fireworks, as well as all sorts of red, white, & blue food and drinks. 

I hope this blueberry syrup finds it’s way into your holiday plans and that you find this post on how to can blueberry syrup helpful.
