- Rinse the blueberries and drain well. Add them to a large pot along with the sugar and lemon juice.Note: You can also add the zest of half of the lemon.
- Cook the blueberries over medium heat, stirring frequently until the sugar dissolves, about 7 minutes.
- Using a potato masher, fork or whisk, mash half of the blueberries. If you have a candy thermometer, clip it to the side of the pot.
- Bring the berries to a medium boil and cook for 15-20 minutes, stirring often in between, until thick and syrupy or until temperature reaches 220℉. Note: Do not walk away from stove as the mixture can quickly burn.
