Ingredients

• 4 cups sugar
• 4 cups boiling water
• 3 cups blueberries, frozen
• 4 teaspoons citric acid

Recipe

• 1 in a large saucepan combine everything. simmer over medium heat and stir with wooden spoon to dissolve the sugar. mash the berries as they soften, with the spoon, or a potato masher. i tried an immersion blender which worked ok but the masher was the most effective.
• 2 once dissolved, let cool, then steep overnight in the refrigerator. this will get the max flavour from the berries.
• 3 next day, strain into a bottle (clean softdrink is perfect). i used a funnel with a wire mesh strainer over the top, and poured a little at a time. squeeze the juice from the pulp through the strainer. set pulp aside - delicious with icecream!
