For the blueberry simple syrup

INGREDIENTS

  • 1 cup water
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 2 cups fresh or frozen blueberries

PREPARATION

  1. In a medium pan, bring water to a gentle simmer. Add granulated sugar and stir gently until dissolved. Add the blueberries and simmer for an additional 5-7 minutes.
  2. Gently mash the berries to release all of the juice and pass through a fine mesh sieve into a heat-safe container. Store the syrup in an airtight container up to one week.

Chef Tip: The blueberry pulp is delicious on top of ice cream, yogurt or toast.
