Blueberry Simple Syrup

Homemade blueberry syrup. Works well with both fresh and frozen blueberries. The key to this recipe is to keep the ratio simple - equal parts blueberry, water, and sugar. Then add just a dash of lemon juice to keep it preserved.

Ingredients

3 cups blueberries Fresh or frozen
3 cups water
3 cups sugar
3 tsp lemon juice

Instructions

Mix the blueberries, water, and sugar together over low heat until sugar dissolves.
Once sugar disolves, increase to medium high heat and bring to a gentle boil.
Stir until syrup thickens (typically about 15 minutes).
Remove from heat and add lemon juice.
Let cool then add to mason jars.

Notes

Will keep in fridge about one week. Will keep frozen for up to three months.

If thin syrup desired, strain blueberry pieces out. I prefer to leave them in though as it makes a great topping for pancakes with the little bits of blueberries in them.
