Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup Blueberries
- 1 cup Blackberries
- 0.75 cup Granulated sugar
- 0.5 cup Water
- 0.5 teaspoon Ground cinnamon
- 0.25 teaspoon Ground nutmeg
- 0.25 teaspoon Ground ginger
- 0.5 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 1 teaspoon Lemon juice
Instructions
Combine the blueberries, blackberries, sugar, and water in a medium-sized saucepan.
Place the saucepan over medium heat and stir occasionally until the sugar dissolves and the berries begin to release their juices, about 5 minutes.
Add the ground cinnamon, nutmeg, and ginger, stirring to incorporate the spices evenly.
Bring the mixture to a gentle simmer and let it cook for 10 minutes, stirring occasionally to prevent sticking.
Press the berries gently with the back of a spoon to release more juice as they soften.
After 10 minutes, remove the saucepan from heat and stir in the vanilla extract and lemon juice.
Pour the syrup through a fine-mesh sieve set over a bowl, gently pressing down on the fruit pulp with a spoon to extract the liquid. Discard the remaining solids.
Let the syrup cool to room temperature before transferring it to an airtight container or jar.
Store the syrup in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks. Stir well before using, and enjoy with your favorite dishes or beverages!
