Description

Ingredients

Scale

Ingredients

  • 1 cup water
  • 2 cups raspberries (fresh or frozen)
  • 1 cup cane sugar
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract (optional)

Instructions

  1. Combine Ingredients: In a small saucepan, combine raspberries, water, and cane sugar.
  2. Boil and Dissolve Sugar: Bring the mixture to a boil over medium-high heat, stirring constantly until the sugar has completely dissolved.
  3. Simmer: Reduce the heat to low and let it simmer gently for 15 minutes, stirring occasionally to prevent sticking and allowing the flavors to meld.
  4. Cool and Steep: Remove the saucepan from heat and allow the syrup to cool for about 10 minutes. The longer it steeps, the more intense the raspberry flavor becomes.
  5. Strain: Pour the syrup through a fine mesh strainer into a bowl or large measuring cup to remove the raspberry solids, pressing gently to extract as much liquid as possible.
  6. Store: Transfer the strained syrup to a clean glass jar or airtight container. Allow it to cool fully before sealing the lid. Store in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks.

Notes

  • Refrigeration: Keep the syrup in an airtight container in the fridge up to 2 weeks. Use a clean spoon each time and discard if there is any change in color, texture, flavor, or smell.
  • Freezing: Syrup can be frozen for 3-4 months in a freezer-safe container. Due to sugar content, it remains pourable straight from the freezer or defrosts in about 30 minutes in the fridge.
  • Usage Suggestions: Use the syrup in cocktails, mocktails, iced or hot teas, lemonades, and sodas. Also delicious drizzled over pancakes, yogurt, oatmeal, ice cream, or brushed on warm cakes to add moisture and flavor.
