When the berries soften and begin to burst, reduce the heat to a simmer and press down gently on the berries with a wooden spoon as they burst. Continue cooking for ⏱️ 8-10 minutes, until the berries have broken down and the liquid turns deep purple.

Remove the pan from the heat. Place a fine mesh strainer over a bowl and pour the blueberry mixture through it. After straining, discard the bits of cooked berries in the strainer. Add a tiny bit of lemon juice to the syrup now, if desired.
