The preparation, as with all sorbets, is very simple and can be done in less than 15 minutes:

• Put all the ingredients except the blueberries in a saucepan and heat gently until the sugar is dissolved. Allow the syrup to cool.
• Wash the blueberries thoroughly and put them in a blender with the syrup and puree.
