This recipe is the sister recipe to my other blueberry syrup recipe. THAT recipe is not able to be canned due to the corn starch in it. THIS recipe IS because there is no cornstarch and a few tweaks to the instructions. Both syrups are delicious but this recipe is adapted for canning instructions.
Is it safe to use cornstarch in canning?
It is not recommended to use cornstarch as a thickener in recipes when that recipe is going to be canned at home. The starch continues to thicken as it cools and is not safe for water bath canning. Cornstarch can be used as a thickener in pie fillings but the pie filling should be used right away or frozen instead of canned. Be sure to try my corn starch free sour cherry pie filling!

For this recipe you are welcome to use fresh or frozen blueberries. There is no need to thaw the frozen blueberries if you are using the frozen berries. Want to freeze your own blueberries?

Why is there salt in this blueberry recipe?
I use a pinch of salt in this recipe because a touch of salt compliments and brings out the sweetness of fruits such as blueberries. You are welcome to leave it out but I encourage you to give salt a try.
How to make blueberry syrup with canning instructions:
- In a non reactive pan, whisk together sugar and salt. Stir in the water.
- Turn the heat to medium high and stir in the blueberries, bring to a boil.
- Once boiling, cook for 2 minutes stirring constantly, scraping the bottom to prevent burning.
- Use an immersion blender or a food processor to puree the syrup for a smoother, thicker syrup.
- Stir in the vanilla extract, if using.
- While the blueberries are coming to a boil, prepare the water canner.
- Heat jars in simmering water until ready to use, do not boil.
- Wash lids in warm soapy water and set aside with bands.
- Ladle hot syrup into a hot jar leaving a 1/4 inch headspace.
- Remove air bubbles. Wipe jar rim. Center lid on jar and apply band, adjust to fingertip tight.
- Place jar in simmering water canner. Repeat until all jars are filled.
- Bring water to a boil and process jars 15 minutes, adjusting for altitude.
- Remove jars and cool 12-24 hours.
- Check lids for seal, they should not flex when center is pressed.
- Label and sore in a cool dry place and use within 18 months.
