Blueberry Syrup

4 cups Blueberries
2 Tbsp. lemon juice
1 cup water
1-1/4 cups sugar

In a 3 qt saucepan, cook berries, water, and lemon juice on high heat to boiling.  Boil for 2 minutes, mashing berries with a  large spoon**.  Add the sugar and cook over high heat to rolling boil for 30 seconds.   Cool.  Will keep in refrigerator up to 2 months.  Makes 3 1/2 cups of syrup. 


We love this on waffles, pancakes, french toast with some whipped topping or just take a spoon and enjoy before anyone wakes up. 



**I have found that if I don't want a really lumpy syrup, I put mine in the food processor or blender for a few seconds.  If the syrup mixture is really hot, you need to let it cool before putting it in the blender or the heat may build up and you'll have a mess.
