Description

An aromatic syrup that calls to mind the clean smell of the forest enhances the flavor of fresh blueberries. Also, since it's poured over the berries while hot, it colors them a gorgeous sapphire and softens them, making their burst in the mouth even more intense.

Ingredients

1 cup water
3/4 cup sugar
15 juniper berries, crushed
1 (4-inch) rosemary sprig
2 pints blueberries (1 1/2 pounds)
1/4 cup dry gin
mint sprigs

Directions

  1. Boil water, sugar, juniper berries, rosemary, and a pinch of salt in a small saucepan, stirring until sugar has dissolved, until reduced to about 3/4 cup, 10 to 12 minutes.
  2. Put blueberries in a heatproof bowl and strain syrup through a sieve over berries. Stir in gin. Macerate until completely cooled, about 30 minutes.
