I need a recipe please!

I can't find mine! I had a good basic syrup recipe for all sorts of fruit and it's gone! Please help!!!

Not sure if this is what you're looking for, it has chunks of bluebaerries in it but is very syrupy...for ice cream and dipping toast...and as a pancake/waffle syrup of sorts

3 quarts blueberries
4 1/2 cups sugar
2 cups water
juice of 1 1/2 lemons

Mix all together, bring to boil. Boil for 10 minutes. Pour into sterilized jars and seal. If you boil this longer it will turn into jam.

Thank you very much! I give it a go.

Here is the fermented one that uses very little sugar.

Berry preserves or syrup

4 cups of berries
1 tsp salt
1/4 cup Rapadura or Sucanat (real raw sugar cane) or refined sugar
1/4 cup raw cultured whey
2 tsp Pomona's Pectin
2 tsp calcium water (see instructions in pectin)

All summer berries will work, except strawberries, which are too acidic for lacto fermentation

Wash berries and place in a bowl with remaining ingredients. Carefully mash until all berries are crushed.
Mix thoroughly and place in a quart sized, wide mouth mason jar.
Leave 1 inch head room.
Cover tightly and leave at room temp for 2 days, then transfer to the fridge. Use within 2 months.

Syrup version

Omit pectin and calcium water. Place whole berries on jar and press down gently. Mix remaining ingredients into jar. Add filtered water if needed, to bring level to 1 inch from top of jar. Proceed with recipe.

BB, are cherries too acidic? I was looking for a lacto fermented cherry preserves

I doubt it. They should work just fine.
Make one jar and find out!

I just made one blueberry and one cherry batch. We'll see what happens!!

BB, it's a bit runny. Not entirely, just a little. Is this correctable on non-cook stuff???

I got it figured out. Cherries are wetter and I didn't really measure so more than 4 cups hahaha. Anyway, awesome sauce. And used in a BBQ sauce.

The blueberry was phenomenal.
