blueberry syrup recipe

[Guest guest]

Hi Folks,

Just wanting to share a recipe I tried this morning and really

loved. I've been trying to use less and less white sugar these

past 5 months.

Blueberry Syrup with Stevia

" Cooking with Stevia "

 

by James and Tanya Kirkland,

 

1 cup blueberries

½ cup apple juice

1 ½ teaspoons cornstarch

2 teaspoons stevia blend or 1/4 tsp. stevioside

1 tablespoon lemon juice

1 tablespoon non-hydrogenated margarine

 

Combine berries and apple juice in a blender or food processor;

blend till pureed. In a heavy saucepan, combine blueberry puree,

stevia, and cornstarch; mix well. Cook, stirring constantly,

till thick and bubbly. Continue cooking and stirring for two

more minutes. Remove from heat. Stir in lemon juice and

margarine. Makes 1 cup. Serve over pancakes, waffles, or French

toast.

 

**I doubled the recipe above b/c I have 4 kids and they love

their pancakes. I didn't have great luck with the first

" Stevia " I bought. too bitter. I then bought a slighty more

expensive brand that was recommended to me. That was much

better but I still didn't see it as something I could really

convert to for the long hall. Then a health store owner

suggested I " cut " my stevia with chicory. Once I did this it

was truly enjoyable.

 

for the recipe above I had to use lime juice and I used the

suggest amount for a stevia blend. I don't use margarine so I

added about a 1/2 T. of butter. I'm telling you....this is good

stuff and I don't really like blueberries raw. I usually have

them juiced with lots of other fruits. Doubling the recipe was

plenty for about 25 pancakes left just enough to refrigerate for

about 8 pancakes this weekend.

 

If you try this with pure stevioside I'd love to hear how it

turns out. Also, if you like it I'd like to know what brand

Stevia you're using.
