How To Make blueberry simple syrup

  • Step 1
    In a medium saucepan over medium-high heat, combine all the ingredients and bring the mixture to a soft boil, stirring often until the sugar is dissolved.
  • Step 2
    Reduce the heat to medium-low and let it simmer gently for 15 minutes, breaking down the fruit using the tip of a wooden spoon or a potato masher.
  • Step 3
    Remove from the heat and let it cool off for 10 minutes.
  • Step 4
    Pour the mixture through a fine sieve sitting over a large bowl or measuring cup and press down on the fruits to extract as much liquid as possible; discard the pulp.
  • Step 5
    Transfer to a glass jar and let it cool completely before storing it in the fridge. Yields 1 cup.
