Ingredients
- 6 ounces blackberries fresh or frozen
- ¾ cup granulated sugar
- ¾ cup water
Instructions
- Rinse the blackberries thoroughly, then place them in a small saucepan along with sugar and water.
- Heat the mixture over medium heat, stirring occasionally until the sugar fully dissolves. Smash the blackberries using the back of a spoon or potato masher. Let the mixture simmer for 8-10 minutes.
- Remove the saucepan from the heat. Strain the syrup using a fine mesh sieve then stir with a spoon to extract all the juice. Discard the seeds and fruit remnants.
- Allow the syrup to cool. Use it immediately or store it in an airtight container.
Notes
- This recipe makes about 1 cup of blackberry simple syrup with a serving size being 1 tablespoon.
- For the syrup to achieve a smooth consistency, use a fine mesh strainer to remove seeds and solids.
- If you use frozen blackberries, there is no need to thaw them. However, you may need to simmer a few minutes longer.
- If the syrup is tasting flat, stir in a squeeze of fresh lemon juice to bring out the flavor.
- Save the strained fruit remnants to blend into a smoothie or add to yogurt or ice cream.
