Blend blanched peas in Vitamix or blender with ½ cup of water, blending as much as you can to create juice from the peas. Strain pea/water mixture through fine mesh strainer, pushing as much liquid through as possible. Measure volume of snap pea juice and add equal parts granulated sugar. Add back to blender to mix, blending until sugar is completely dissolved.
