Blueberry Syrup

This syrup is yummy.  I love having a variety of recipes for pancake and waffle toppings to change breakfast up a bit.  It seems like breakfast can get boring, there isn't an endless supply of ideas out there like there is for the dinner menu but with delicious toppings like this, traditional pancakes can feel different and taste amazing.  I used this syrup on whole wheat blender pancakes

2 1/2 C. Blueberries (fresh or frozen)
1/3 C. Sugar
1/2 C. Orange Juice
1 T. Corn Starch
2 tsp. Lemon Juice

In a small sauce pan combine the blueberries, sugar and 1/4 C. orange juice.  Heat mixture to boiling while stirring occasionally.  While berry mixture is heating up, mix remaining orange juice with corn starch until completely smooth in texture.  When berry mixture comes to a light boil add the cornstarch mixture and stir for one minute until sauce thickens.  Remove pan from heat and stir in lemon juice.
