350g blueberries
⅓ cup sugar
2 tbsp (30ml) water
Juice of ½ a lemon
2 cups (500ml) Greek yoghu

Method

1. Place blueberries in a freezer-proof container and freeze for 4–6 hours.

2. Add the frozen blueberries, sugar, water and lemon juice to a saucepan, and allow to simmer over a medium heat for 5–10 min. or until the fruit is soft, and the juice has reduced by half and has a syrupy consistency.

3. Remove from heat and allow to cool completely.

6. To remove from the mould, immerse in warm water for a few seconds.
