Notes

Note - the nutritional calculation is off on this, it's calculating for the whole recipe. 
If you're using this syrup in baking, dessert, or breakfast, it's great to leave the blueberries in. If you're making drinks or cocktails, I would strain them out. 
If you keep the blueberries in, this recipe makes two cups. If you strain them, it's 1 cup.
