What each ingredient does
- Blueberries
- Provide the fruit itself, with flavor and color that show through the syrup.
- Sugar
- Sweetens the fruit and helps the blueberries hold their shape in the syrup.
The step that matters
Adding enough water to the sugar. Sugar scorches quickly against the hot base of a pan when there is too little liquid. Enough water in the mixture lets the sugar dissolve and cook evenly, so it does not burn.
