Notes

You can use frozen or fresh blueberries. If using fresh blueberries, reduce simmer time by about 2 minutes and add 1-2 tablespoons of water. Fresh will not release as much liquid when cooking so you will want to thin it out a bit.
Make sure to keep the heat low to prevent the syrup from burning.
The syrup will continue to thicken as it cools. You can add 2-3 tablespoons of water to thin it out.
