Instructions
- Add the blackberries to a medium saucepan along with the sugar and water.
- Turn the heat to medium and gently keep moving the blackberries around with a spoon. This will help distribute the heat and dissolve the sugar.
- Bring the mixture up to a gentle simmer and turn the heat down to medium-low. Continue simmering for around 6 minutes. You will notice that the blackberries are starting to look paler, the syrup brighter and the bubbles a dark reddish purple.
- Around the 6 minute mark, start to gently mash the berries into the liquid with a potato masher, or fork. Continue doing this for around 2 minutes. Remove the saucepan from the heat.
- Place a sieve over a bowl, or large jug, and pour the blackberry syrup into the sieve. Allow it to drip by itself for a minute or two.
- Using a silicone spatula (this is the best tool for the job) or a spoon, mash and scrape the pulp around the sieve to squeeze as much of the liquid through the tiny holes as possible.
- Pour the now strained syrup into a jug. Let it cool before storing it in the fridge.
- Top tip: Don't discard the pulp, it's delicious stirred into some thick Greek yoghurt, just mind the seeds.
