Ingredients
2 cups fresh blueberries, washed, cleaned and dried
1 cup water,
1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Zest of 1 lemon
1 Tablespoon lemon juice
Cooking Instructions
Place all ingredients in a medium sauce pan, bring to boil.
Once boiling, lower temp and simmer until thickened and the berries are cooked through. Stir frequently to avoid burning and sticking.
Taste your berries! If they’re ripe and sweet, you will not need to maple syrup.
