Ingredients

2 cups fresh or frozen blueberries
½ cup water
½ cup white sugar
1 tablespoon lemon juice
1 teaspoon cornstarch optional, for thickening

Instructions

In a saucepan, combine blueberries, water, and sugar.
Add lemon juice.
Bring the mixture to a boil over medium-high heat, stirring occasionally.
Reduce heat to low and let simmer for 10 minutes, or until blueberries have broken down and released their juices.
If you want a thicker syrup, mix the cornstarch with 1 tablespoon of water, and stir the slurry into the simmering blueberry mixture. Cook for 2-3 minutes until thickened.
Strain the syrup through a fine mesh strainer.
Allow the syrup to cool before serving or storing in an airtight container in the refrigerator.
