Blackberry Syrup
Report
An easy 3-ingredient blackberry syrup that's delicious on pancakes or waffles, over vanilla ice cream, and stirred into drinks.
Share:
Ingredients
- 3 cups blackberries, fresh or frozen (about 14 ounces fresh)
- 2 ¼ cups granulated sugar
- 1 cup water
Instructions
- Place the blackberries, sugar, and water in a large, heavy-bottomed pot.
- Bring the liquid to a boil, and then reduce the heat so that the mixture is at a gentle simmer. Simmer until the mixture thickens to a syrup-like consistency, about 10-12 minutes. Use the back of a wooden spoon, spatula, or potato masher to smash and break up the berries while they’re simmering.
- Press the mixture through a fine mesh strainer. Discard the pulp and transfer the syrup to a jar or airtight container. It will continue to thicken slightly as it cools.
- Serve warm with pancakes, waffles, or vanilla ice cream. Drizzle cool syrup over yogurt, mix into oatmeal, pour over angel food cake or pavlova with fresh berries, or stir into margaritas, cocktails, and other drinks.
Notes
- This recipe yields 2 cups of syrup. If using frozen berries, you do not need to thaw them first. It will just take them a bit longer to come to a boil.

- Select ripe blackberries if you opt for fresh over frozen fruit. Ripe, juicy blackberries yield the best flavor. Ripe berries will be deep purple-black in color and slightly soft to the touch.

- For a more complex flavor, squeeze some fresh lemon juice or fresh lime juice into the syrup. It won't make the syrup taste like citrus, but instead will just emphasize and highlight the natural flavor of the blackberries.
