Equipment

Ingredients
  

  • 2 cups blueberries (fresh or frozen)
  • 1 ½ cups sugar
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice
  • ½ cup water
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Instructions
 

  • Combine blueberries, sugar, and water.
  • Mash and bring to a simmer.
  • Simmer 10 minutes, mashing periodically.
  • Remove from heat, and add the lemon juice and vanilla.
  • Let cool.

Notes

  • A pour spout for mason jars makes pouring and storing your syrup incredibly convenient, but any glass jar with a tight-fitting lid works well too.
  • For a silkier syrup without berry pieces, simply strain the finished syrup through a fine-mesh sieve while it's still warm.
  • Works beautifully with fresh summer berries or frozen blueberries year-round!
  • If the syrup becomes too thick after refrigeration, simply warm it gently with a splash of water. If you prefer a thicker syrup initially, let it simmer 2-3 minutes longer.
