Recipe for Light Simple Syrup

5 1/4 Cups of plain water, or blueberry juice from heating blueberries up in a pot of water just enough to cover berries. Berry juice should be clean, skim top if there are any stems or seeds floating. If you don't have enough juice to make 5 1/4 cups, add enough filtered water to make it.

To can with only water,. use fresh filtered if needed water. Heat to boiling have on hand to pour over berries when they are in jars.

you may use quart or pints. Less than 1,000 feet above sea level would be 15 mins for pints or 20 mins for quarts whether using a water bath canner or a steam canner. Know your altitude, and adjust your canning time by the chart listed at link above for the National Center for Home Food Preservation where this recipe comes from.

I used 5 lbs of blueberries, fresh, washed and sorted. You may also use your own or store bought frozen berries.

I heated my berries through, but removed from heat before popping or splitting. Set in a bowl and cover to keep hot.

bring to a soft boil the 5 1/4 cups of water, or juice in a pan with the 2 1/4 cups of sugar. Stir until sugar dissolves and is clear, set aside

Ladle just the berries into your jars leaving 1 inch headspace. Ladle the boiling water, or the boiled simple syrup into jars leaving 1/2 inch headspace.

Clean rim of jars with paper towels soaked in vinegar. Place on jars the lids and rings, fingertip tight. Pour remaining vinegar from your small bowl used for wiping rims into your canners water.

Process Jars according to your canner's directions. Remove after processing and place on a towel to cool for 12 to 24 hours. Check seals, remove rings and wash jars if needed. date lids and place on a shelf in a dark cool place. Makes approximately 5 pints or 2-3 quarts.
