When summer fruits are in full swing, there’s nothing quite like capturing their vibrant flavor in a homemade syrup. This Blueberry Peach Syrup is the perfect way to celebrate the season. Whether you’re drizzling it over pancakes, swirling it into yogurt, or stirring it into sparkling water or cocktails, this syrup adds a burst of fruity goodness to anything it touches.
Why You’ll Love This Syrup
The combination of blueberries and peaches strikes a beautiful balance between tart and sweet. Blueberries bring a deep, jammy richness, while peaches add sunny, floral notes that taste just like summer. Simmered gently with a touch of lemon and just the right amount of sweetness, this syrup is both versatile and irresistibly delicious.
It’s also a great way to reduce waste when you’ve got an abundance of fruit that’s ripening faster than you can eat it. Slightly bruised peaches or soft blueberries work beautifully in this syrup, making it a delicious solution for using what you have on hand.
We also love saving the pulp after straining the syrup to use in oatmeal, chia pudding or serve over ice cream.
