Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups fresh blackberries
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 0.5 cup water
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
Instructions
Rinse the fresh blackberries thoroughly under cold water and drain them well.
In a medium saucepan, combine the blackberries, granulated sugar, and water.
Heat the mixture over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until the sugar fully dissolves and the blackberries begin to release their juices, about 5 minutes.
Use a fork or potato masher to gently mash some of the blackberries to help release more of their flavor while keeping a few whole for texture.
Lower the heat to a simmer and cook the mixture for an additional 10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until it slightly thickens.
Remove the saucepan from the heat and stir in the lemon juice to brighten the flavor.
Strain the mixture through a fine-mesh sieve or cheesecloth into a clean bowl or jar to remove the seeds and pulp, pressing with the back of a spoon to extract as much liquid as possible.
Let the syrup cool to room temperature, then transfer it to an airtight container or bottle.
Store the blackberry syrup in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks. Give it a gentle shake before using if separation occurs.
