Instructions

  1. Step 1: In a small saucepan over medium heat, combine 1/2 cup granulated sugar and 1/4 cup water. Cook, stirring constantly, until the sugar dissolves completely and the mixture becomes a clear syrup, about 3-4 minutes. Remove from heat and let cool to room temperature.
  2. Step 2: In a blender, combine 1 cup fresh blueberries, the zest and juice of 1 large lemon, and the cooled simple syrup. Blend until completely smooth, scraping down the sides of the blender with a rubber spatula as needed.
  3. Step 3: Strain the mixture through a fine-mesh sieve into a shallow glass dish to remove any blueberry seeds, pressing gently with the spatula to extract all liquid. Discard the seeds.
  4. Step 4: Cover the dish tightly with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 4 hours, or until completely frozen. For a creamier texture, stir every 30 minutes during the first 2 hours of freezing.
