Blackberry Syrup
Description
The Blackberry Syrup recipe combines blackberries, sugar, and water cooked together to extract the fruit's flavor and sweetness. By simmering the blackberries and sugar mixture, the blackberries break down releasing their juice, which, when strained, yields a flavorful syrup with a balance of fruity tartness and sweetness. Straining removes the seeds and pulp to produce a clear syrup that has a rich berry color and smooth texture.
This syrup is commonly used as a topping over breakfast items like pancakes or waffles, bringing a natural berry sweetness without the heaviness of syrups made solely from sugar. It can also be added to cocktails, sodas, or drizzled over desserts such as ice cream or cheesecake for additional flavor and visual appeal.
For best results, wash blackberries thoroughly to remove any trapped dirt. If using frozen blackberries, make sure they are fully thawed. Straining more than once may be necessary for a clearer syrup with fewer fruit particles. Store in sanitized jars in the refrigerator where it will keep for up to two weeks.
Ingredients
- 1 ½ cups blackberry fresh or frozen, 190g
- 1 cup white granulated sugar 200g
- ¾ cup water 180ml
Instructions
- Add all ingredients to a pot.
- Stir it together, bring to the boil, then reduce the heat and simmer for 10 minutes, until the blackberries break down.
- Place a fine-mesh strainer over a bowl or jug and pour in the mixture. Press the blackberries into the strainer to extract as much blackberry syrup as possible.
- Allow the mixture to cool, then pour into a sanitized jar or bottle and keep in the fridge for up to 2 weeks.
Notes
- Wash blackberries thoroughly before cooking to remove dirt trapped in the bumps.
- When using frozen blackberries, thaw completely before simmering to ensure even cooking.
- Strain the syrup twice if it contains too many fruit particles for a clearer result.
- Use sanitized jars for storage to prevent spoilage; refrigerate and use within 2 weeks.
- Serve as a fruit syrup for pancakes, waffles, cocktails, or desserts like ice cream and cheesecake.
