Every fall, in the hills surrounding Camp Denali and North Face Lodge, we gather gallons and gallons of fresh blueberries to make our own syrup and jam. 

Alaskan Blueberry Syrup

Yield: 1 gallon

• 1 gallon blueberries
• 8 cups sugar
• 1 ½ cups apple juice

1) Measure the berries, sugar, and apple juice into a large blender and process until well mashed.

2) Pour into a large, heavy-bottomed stock pot. Slowly bring to a boil, adding more juice if needed.

3) Cook for 20 minutes at a hard, rolling boil.

4) Ladle into hot, sterilized jars and seal with sterilized lids. Allow to cool before moving.
