Author: Chef Sally

Ingredients

Scale

4 cups blueberries washed and any stems picked off
zest and juice from one small lemon
2 tablespoon maple syrup

Instructions

Combine all ingredients in a quart size saucepan.
On medium high heat, begin to mash (I used a potato masher) until most but not all of the blueberries are broken up.
Bring to a boil.
Lower heat and simmer for about 50-55 minutes, stirring every so often to prevent burning.
Test with cold spoon (see above)*
Let cool and transfer to a jar with lid.
Refrigerate.

Notes

I have gotten a few questions regarding using frozen blueberries for this recipe. Although I have not tested this myself, I have had a few readers message me that frozen blueberries did in fact work for this recipe.
