Blueberry Syrup

Makes 1¼ cups

INGREDIENTS

1 lb. frozen blueberries

1 cup water
½ cup sugar

Special Tools
Wire-mesh strainer

INSTRUCTIONS

1 Add all ingredients to a medium-sized pot and bring to a boil on
medium-high heat, stirring until the sugar is dissolved. Reduce heat

to medium-low, cover, and allow to simmer for 10 minutes. Strain the
liquid into a bowl (do not press down on the berries to release extra

juice). Discard berries.

2 Return the liquid to the pot and bring back to a boil on medium-
high heat. Reduce heat to medium-low again and heat for 10

minutes, uncovered, stirring occasionally. The mixture will thicken
somewhat. Transfer liquid to a sealable container. Cover and chill in

the refrigerator until ready to use. The mixture will thicken slightly

more after it cools.
