As the weather outside gets frightful... this lilac syrup will be quite delightful?

A taste of spring, the whole year through.

2 cups of warm water
2 cups of sugar
2 cups of lilac flowers(no stems or leaves) 8-10 blueberries for color

Gently rinse and clean your lilac flowers
Combine water and sugar and whisk until sugar is dissolved
Bring mixture to a boil, stirring constantly.
Add the lilac flowers and blueberries, reduce heat and simmer for 20-25 mins.

Strain through a fine mesh strainer to remove all plant material.

Laddle into hot sterilized jars using a laddle and canning funnel. Wipeyour jar rims with a paper towel that is dampened with vinegar then process in a hot water bath for 10 minutes.

Store for up to one year.
Refrigerate after opening for up to 1 month.

Hope You 'Lilac' it a lot?
