Ingredients

1 cup fresh blueberries
1 cup light brown sugar
1 cup water
1/2 medium lemon juiced
1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract

Instructions

In a saucepan, measure and add blueberries, light brown sugar, water and the lemon juice. Stir and bring to a boil over medium-high heat.
Once it’s boiling, reduce the heat to medium-low and simmer for 8 to 10 minutes. Stirring occasionally. One the blueberries are soft and some have burst, remove and allow the blueberry mixture to cool completely.
You can speed this process up by adding ice and cold water to a large bowl (about 1/3 to 1/2 way up depending) and setting the pan inside. Never add hot liquids to a blender.
Once cooled, transfer the blueberry mixture to a small/personal blender. Add in the vanilla extract. Secure the lid and puree until smooth.
Place a mesh strainer over a 16 ounce jar or container with a tight fitting lid and pour the blueberry syrup through the strainer.
Keep refrigerated for up to 1 to 2 weeks.
