List of Ingredients




Makes about 3 quarts

2 pints perfectly ripe blueberries
6 cups sugar
3 cups water
2/3 cup strained fresh lemon juice
Good quality vodka

Sort and stem, then rinse and drain the blueberries. Puree the berries, using a blender or food processor. Place the puree in a ceramic bowl, cover with a towel and let stand for 36 hours. Stir the puree occasionally. Don't worry if the puree forms a crust or gets foamy.

Pour the puree through two layers of cheesecloth set over a large bowl, and let it drain. When the flow dwindles, twist the cheesecloth and pulp to extract as much juice as possible. Toss away the pulp and retain the juice, which should measure about 2 2/3 cups. Combine the sugar and water in a saucepan. Bring to a boil over high heat until it reaches about 235 degrees on a candy thermometer (will form small ball when dripped into ice water). Add the blueberry and lemon juice. Simmer uncovered for about 5 minutes. Remove from heat and cool completely. Funnel into clean, dry bottles with cork or cap.

Add 3/4 cup vodka to each cup of syrup.

Use the syrup for topping pancakes/waffles or as a base for nonalcoholic drinks like chilled club soda.
