Ingredients

  • 2 pounds raspberries
  • 1 quart water (4 cups)
  • 2 cups sugar

Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. Rinse the raspberries clean.
  2. Place the raspberries in a medium saucepan.
  3. Cover with water and bring to a boil. Reduce to a medium simmer and let the raspberries cook for about 20 minutes. Skim any foam that rises to the top.
  4. After about 20 minutes, the raspberries will have lost most of their color and the water should be deep pink/red in color. Remove from heat. Strain the raspberry liquid through a fine mesh strainer into another clean pot, separating the solid berries from the liquid. DO NOT press down on the solids to extract more juice; it's tempting, but doing this will make your raspberry syrup cloudy.
  5. Once the raspberry liquid has been strained, discard the solid berries. Add 2 cups of sugar to the raspberry liquid. Bring back to a boil, stirring frequently to dissolve the sugar into the syrup. Let the syrup simmer for 5 minutes till the sugar is completely dissolved, skimming any additional foam that rises to the top.
  6. Remove from heat and allow to cool completely. Pour into a glass container, seal, and refrigerate. The syrup should last for several weeks.

Notes

  • You will also need: Fine mesh strainer, two medium saucepans
  • Note: if you prefer a thicker syrup for use on pancakes or waffles, you can simmer it for several minutes longer till the liquid reduces and thickens more. The consistency as written is perfect for mixing into beverages.
