Instructions
Pour equal parts sugar and water (1/2 cup each) into a small saucepan over medium heat. Stir until the sugar dissolves, about two minutes.
Add the cup of blueberries and a pinch of salt to the sauce pan and stir to coat the blueberries in the sugar water.
Turn the heat underneath the pan to medium-low. Allow the blueberries to simmer on low for about 10 minutes.
Don’t stir them.*
Remove the saucepan from the heat. Let the blueberries and syrup cool completely to room temperature in the sauce pan.
Strain the syrup through a fine mesh sieve into a sterilized glass container.
Don't push on the berries in the strainer.*
Discard the blueberries
(or keep them on hand for smoothies or milkshakes)
.
Notes
*During recipe testing, stirring or pushing on the berries in the strainer resulted in a cloudy syrup.
