Ingredients

Units Scale
  • 3 cups blueberries (fresh or frozen)
  • 1 cup water

  • 1/2 teaspoon vanilla

Instructions

  1. Place 1 1/2 cups blueberries in a small saucepan. Cover with water and add sugar and vanilla. Heat over medium-high heat until mixture comes to a low boil and blueberries just start to break apart.
