Notes

Look for sweet blueberries: Blueberries are generally sweet, but there are a few sour ones. So, when picking blueberries for this dish, pay attention to the plumpness and color. The softer and darker they are, the sweeter they become. They're sour if they're still too firm and are reddish in color.
Do not overcook the syrup: Do not overcook the blueberry maple syrup, or it will acquire a bitter taste and will crystalize.
Try other fruit: To make a variety of fruity maple syrups, you can combine or replace the blueberries in this recipe with raspberries, strawberries, or other fruits and berries that you like that are in season.
Add flavor: A dash of vanilla extract and lemon juice will elevate the flavors even more.
Prep ahead: You can make this recipe ahead of time, and it can easily be doubled or tripled. Once you have tried it, it will make sense for you to stock up!
