Simple syrup from hand-picked local blueberries. Dangerous over vanilla ice cream.
Ingredients
- 6 cup Fresh Blueberries
- 4 cup Water
- 2 cup Sugar
- 3 tbsp Lemon Juice
- 2 tsp Vanilla Extract
Directions
- Add the blueberries, water, and sugar to a large pot.
- Stir on low/medium heat until the sugar is dissolved.
- Turn the heat up and bring it to a boil.
- Let it boil for a minute while stirring, then turn it down to a simmer.
- Cook until the liquid reduces and the syrup reaches your desired consistency.
- Remove the pot from the heat, then immediately pour in the lemon juice and vanilla and stir really well. — Add these off the heat - cooking heat degrades the flavor and purpose of both
Notes
Jar it and store it in the refrigerator for up to 2-3 weeks.
Enjoy it drizzled over some vanilla ice cream
