Serves 16 (2 tablespoons per serving)

Ingredients

Blackberries
2 cups, fresh or frozen
Granulated sugar
1 cup
Water
1 cup
Lemon juice
2 tablespoons, freshly squeezed
Vanilla extract
1 teaspoon

Instructions

  1. In a medium saucepan, combine the blackberries, sugar, water, and lemon juice.
  2. Place the saucepan over medium heat and bring the mixture to a gentle boil, stirring occasionally.
  3. Once boiling, reduce the heat to low and let the mixture simmer for about 15 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld and the blackberries to break down.
  4. Remove from heat and let the mixture cool slightly for about 5 minutes.
  5. Using a fine mesh strainer or cheesecloth, carefully strain the syrup into a bowl or jar, pressing down on the solids to extract as much liquid as possible while removing the seeds.
  6. Stir in the vanilla extract until well combined.
  7. Transfer the syrup to a clean jar or bottle, allowing it to cool completely before sealing. Store in the refrigerator for up to two weeks.
  8. Serve the blackberry syrup warm or cold over your favorite breakfast items or desserts.

Tips

  • 💡 For a deeper flavor, consider adding a pinch of cinnamon or a sprig of fresh mint during the simmering process.
  • 💡 If you prefer a thicker syrup, allow it to simmer for an additional 5-10 minutes until it reaches your desired consistency.
  • 💡 This syrup can also be used as a cocktail mixer or drizzled over yogurt for an extra treat.
