Ingredients
- 1 cup water
- 1 cup fresh or frozen raspberries washed
- ½ cup sugar
Instructions
- In a medium saucepan, bring water and fruit to a boil. Lower the heat and bring to a simmer for 15 minutes. Remove from heat.
- Strain the hot liquid into a bowl or jar through a fine-mesh strainer to remove the solids and seeds.
- Measure the liquid. Stir in an equal amount of sugar while the syrup is still warm, until dissolved. For a thicker syrup, you can add up to twice as much sugar as liquid.
- Let cool to room temperature. Store in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 2 weeks.
Notes
Berry quality: Fresh berries give the brightest flavor, but slightly bruised or very ripe raspberries work well too. Frozen is fine!
Sugar ratio: After straining, measure the liquid and stir in an equal amount of sugar. For a thicker syrup, use up to double.
Storage: Store in a mason jar or airtight container in the fridge for up to 2 weeks, or freeze for longer storage.
