Ingredients

1 cup granulated sugar
1 cup water
1 cup fresh blueberries

Instructions

Place sugar and a cup of water into a small saucepan over medium heat. Stirring constantly, bring to a simmer.
1 cup granulated sugar, 1 cup water
Add the cup of blueberries, lower the heat to medium-low, and simmer for 5 minutes.
1 cup fresh blueberries
Strain through a fine mesh strainer and discard the berries.
Let cool completely to room temperature, and serve. Store in a mason jar in the fridge or similar airtight container.

Notes

This makes a small batch, but you can easily double it to feed more or halve the recipe as needed.
Use any berries in place of blueberries.
Great for drinks, desserts, or used in place of maple syrup on breakfast dishes.
Use frozen blueberries in place of fresh, no need to thaw.
