How can I make just one fourth of this recipe?
Blueberry Syrup:
6 cups blueberries, picked over
3 cups sugar
1/2 lemon, zest removed in strips with a vegetable peeler
1/8 cup fresh lemon juice
In a large saucepan combine the blueberries and 3/4 cup water, bring the mixture to a boil, and simmer it, covered, for 10 minutes. Puree the mixture in batches in a blender or food processor and force it through a fine sieve into a bowl, discarding the solids. In the pan, cleaned, combine the sugar, the zest, and 1 1/2 cups water, bring the mixture to a boil,
stirring until the sugar is dissolved, and boil it, uncovered, until a candy thermometer registers 200 degrees F. Discard the zest, add the blueberry mixture, and boil the syrup, stirring, for 1 minute. Let the syrup cool, skim off any froth, and stir in the lemon juice.
Instead of making the whole recipe, could I just make 1/4 of the quantity? We don't have much blueberries here in the Philippines.
There are some answers for your reference as below,you can choose your best answers
That would be 1 1/2 cups blueberries, 3/4 cups sugar, 1/8 lemon, and 1/2 Tablespoon lemon juice.
It can be risky cutting down a recipe like that, but it would probably work with this one. You can always add a bit more water if it gets too dry.
I think you need to divide all the quantities by four and bake for about 1/3 the time. Check as you are baking. I could be wrong on that one. But, definitely cut the ingredients by 1/4 and cut the baking time.
just cut the recipe in fourth watch out on the time though
