This is delicious. Next time I might cut the ginger in half, as is the ginger is very strong.
The ginger is subtle and doesn't overpower the blueberries. Guests loved it!
Substituted lemon zest for the ginger. Then quinelled into bowls, topped with a drizzle of peppery olive oil, then a spritz of fleur de sel. Almost a savory dessert. Loved it!
Used only two pints of blueberries, used roughly three tablespoons of ginger, half of which was only sliced and removed after the syrup was done. Nixed the two extra tablespoons of water and sugar. Delicious! Check plus plus.
