Blueberry Syrup

I guess this is why you RINSE and SORT your berries before making syrup or jam...or anything else! Little beetle had been hiding out in my box of berries in the fridge for 24 hours!



I bought a new blender about a month ago because ours has a crack in it, but hadn't yet taken it out of the box.



It blended 7 cups of blueberries (no liquid) into puree in about 20 seconds! I'm convinced it's the most awesome blender ever.

Syrup was so simple! The cliff notes version:

Puree 6 1/2 to 7 cups of blueberries in a blender. Run it for a few minutes and you won't even need a strainer...there will be no solids left.

Add 2 Tbsp lemon juice and 7 cups of sugar.

Bring to a boil.

Skim the foam off the top and ladle into hot, sterilized jars.

Add hot lids and rings.
