- 1 heaping cup fresh blueberries
- 2 Tbsp granulated sugar
- 2 tsp fresh lemon juice

Make the blueberry syrup. In a small saucepan over medium-high heat, combine fresh blueberries, 2 Tbsp sugar, 2 tsp fresh lemon juice, and a pinch of Kosher salt. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the juices from the blueberries release and some of the berries pop, about 3-5 minutes. Add 2 tsp vanilla extract and ⅓ cup maple syrup, then stir and cook for 30 seconds more. Remove from the heat and set aside.
