1 pint fresh blueberries
1/4 cup water
1/2 cup sugar
1 tablespoon lemon juice (about 1/2 lemon)
Particularly good on vanilla ice cream but also fantastic on waffles, pancakes, and crepes.
Carefully wash and remove stems from blueberries. Pour into 3-quart pot with water and sugar. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer berries for 10 minutes, stirring from time to time. Press through a fine sieve to remove blueberry skin or use as is. Squeeze juice from half a lemon and add to blueberry syrup. Cool. Store in a glass jar in refrigerator.
