Better than IHop, this fresh blackberry syrup poured onto crispy Belgium waffles will be the best breakfast you have had all year!
When life presents you with juicy plump blackberries that are so large that they take at least two bites to finish, you have to make something to preserve their glory.
After eating an unimaginable amount, I decided that these beauties needed to be turned into a delicious jam and syrup.
I find that preserving fruit is almost as therapeutic as making homemade caramel, and definitely just as rewarding. There is nothing like opening up a homemade jar of jam and spreading it on a fresh out of the oven slice of bread in the winter. The same goes for pour this delectable syrup on homemade waffles in the spring.
This is my absolute favorite waffle recipe. The batter yields a perfectly crispy waffle that will stand up (and soak up) to being drenched in this blackberry syrup. It is easy to make and the batter can be made the night before and stored in fridge.
I also double and sometimes even triple this recipe so that I have leftovers. These waffles can be frozen for up to 3 months and simply placed under the broiler when ready to eat. It makes for easy breakfasts when we are on the go.
During the summer I make homemade syrup with a variety of fresh berries, however this blackberry syrup is my favorite to date. However, the homemade strawberry syrup came is my family's favorite.

I'm making this later! I didn't realize that it was so easy to make my own syrup. I usually boil down fruit and just add sugar and water without success. Will add cornstarch!Reply

Those are gorgeous blackberries! I'm dying to try the syrup you made with them, I'm thinking that syrup would be wonderful over a scoop of vanilla ice cream too.

Belgian waffles are soft and fluffy on the inside, slightly crunchy on the outside ... - a refined and elegant European breakfast. Thanks for the syrup recipe. I'll take a note.
