Fruit-Flavored Pancake and Waffle Syrups

We store several quarts of real maple syrup here.  It's natural, we love it, and it stores indefinitely.   I also have Mapleine for making maple-flavored syrup if we ever run out of the real thing, but I really don't like using artificial flavorings if I don't have to.
And while maple syrup is the go-to for pancakes and waffles most of the time, sometimes we just want to mix things up.  Maybe we happen upon some wild blueberries or blackberries.  Maybe we've got an excess of fruit jam.  Or maybe we need something to take to a community breakfast, but we don't really want to take the good stuff.  So here are some fun options for times when a lot more pancakes are on the menu.

Blueberry Syrup

1/2 cup sugar
2 tablespoons cornstarch
1 cup cold water
4 cups fresh or frozen blueberries

Combine sugar and cornstarch in a large saucepan.  Add water and stir until smooth.  Add blueberries and cook and stir over medium heat.  Bring to a boil and boil gently for two minutes, stirring frequently.  Remove from heat and keep warm until serving.

For blackberry syrup, simply substitute blackberries for the blueberries and add in 1 1/2 teaspoons lemon juice.

Fruit Syrup from Jam or Jelly
1 cup light corn syrup
1/2 cup jam or jelly

Combine jam or jelly and corn syrup in small saucepan over low heat.  Do not boil.  Serve warm.

Fruit-Flavored Syrup
1 cup water
1/2 cup sugar
3/4 cup fruit-flavored gelatin (small Jell-O box, or 1/2 of a large Jell-O box)
2 tablespoons cornstarch

Combine ingredients in a small saucepan over medium heat and bring to a rolling boil while stirring.  Remove from heat and pour into serving pitcher.  Let cool a few minutes to thicken.  Serve warm.
