This week I'm sharing a blackberry simple syrup. It can be frozen into cubes, but I use it for sweetening up lemonade (which I did today), iced tea and occasionally with some carbonated water. So yummy!!
Blackberry Simple Syrup
2 pints blackberries
5 cups water
2 cups sugar
In a large saucepan, bring the water and sugar to a boil. Lower the heat to medium and add your blackberries, stirring occasionally for 5-7 minutes. Take the saucepan off the heat and use a masher to squish up the fruit. Allow the liquid to cool, then strain and pour into a quart sized bottle. This refrigerates well for a little over a week.
What's cooking in your kitchen?

Cole! Just this morning I was cleaning out my freezer...for the first time in MONTHS - I won't admit how many...anyway, I came across a random bag of blackberries. I have no idea why I have them but after seeing your recipe I'm SO excited that I can make your syrup!!! :) Yay!!

ReplyDeleteHi. Thank you for your blog hop! I just posted recipes for Pennsylvania Dutch string beans and Russian borscht. I didn't enter my name properly the first time, so the string beans are called, "Christy." Sorry!
