Before you start cooking, mix one tablespoon of corn starch with 2 tablespoons of cold water until it dissolves. This will help thicken your syrup. Set aside.
1 tbsp corn starch, 2 tbsp cold water
Combine fresh blueberries, sugar, and 1/2 cup of water in a medium saucepan and simmer over medium-low heat (no need to bring to a boil).
1 cup fresh blueberries, 1/2 cup sugar, 1/2 cup water
Once the berries soften and the liquid begins to thicken, stir the corn starch into the berry mixture.
Cook for approximately 20 minutes total, until liquid reaches a syrupy consistency. Remove the syrup from the heat and let it cool for about five minutes. The syrup will thicken slightly as it cools.
Pour over waffles, pancakes or even ice cream and enjoy!

While this tastes delicious over pancakes and waffles, it also makes an amazing dessert sauce for ice cream or cheesecake.
