Ingredients

1 cup water
1 cup sugar
13 ounce jar blueberry preserves
2 quarts water
1 cup fresh lemon juice
blueberries and lemon wedges to garnish (optional)

Instructions

In a saucepan over medium heat, add 1 cup water and sugar.
Whisk together until completely dissolved.
Lower heat to low and add blueberry preserves.
Whisk together until preserves are completely combined with sugar solution. Remove from heat and allow to cool completely.
In a large pitcher, add two quarts of water and lemon juice.
Add one cup of blueberry simple syrup and stir together to combine.
Serve in glasses over ice and garnished with fresh blueberries and lemon slices, if desired.

Notes

TIP: There will be additional simple syrup remaining after making the lemonade. Feel free to add additional to the pitcher to achieve desired taste. I liked pouring a few extra tablespoons over my individual glass for extra flavor and to enjoy the blueberries within the preserves.
