Step 1

Place the blueberries, sugar, water, and lemon juice in a medium saucepan. Bring to a simmer over low-medium heat and stir until the sugar is dissolved.

Step 2

Use a wooden spoon or potato masher to smash the blueberries as they cook. Allow the mixture to continue to simmer for 8 to 10 minutes until the fruit has broken down.

Step 3

Remove from heat, and allow the mixture to cool for 10 to 15 minutes or longer if desired. Pour the mixture through a mesh sieve to remove the fruit pieces.

Step 4

Store the syrup in a sealed container in your fridge for up to a week.
