Ingredients
- 1 cup blueberries fresh or frozen
- ½ cup granulated sugar
- ½ cup water
- 1 Tablespoon lemon juice
Instructions
- Add all ingredients to a saucepan. Lightly crush blueberries with a potato masher or the back of a wooden spoon.

Notes
- If using frozen blueberries thaw first.
- Syrup can be stored for up to 2 weeks in the refrigerator.
