Instructions
- Start by placing your ingredients in your saucepan - all can go in at the same time. Place this over a medium heat, stirring occasionally until the sugar dissolves.
- Once your sugar has dissolved (about 5 minutes), turn the heat up slightly and allow to boil.
- Boil for about 5-10 minutes, stirring occasionally, to ensure that the berries aren't becoming stuck on the bottom of the pan and burning. See tips below for info on the length of boiling.
- Strain through a fine meshed sieve to remove the vanilla pod and pulp, leaving you with a smooth vibrant purple simple syrup.
- Allow to cool and store in the fridge. Length of chilling will depend on intended use - if aiming for a chilled cocktail, it's best to leave for a couple of hours to get thoroughly cool.
Notes
- If your berries are particularly large, I recommend chopping them in half before adding to the saucepan. This will make it easier for them to break down and infuse.
- The vanilla pod here is optional, though highly recommended!
- The time that this recipe spends boiling will impact the overall amount of syrup you end up with as it will continue to reduce and thicken. The goal is a rich syrup, not a candy or caramel, so I don't recommend keeping it on a rolling boil for a long time! A light boil for 10-15 minutes is plenty to help fully infuse the flavors here.
