Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups fresh raspberries
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 0.5 cup water
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
Instructions
Rinse the raspberries thoroughly under cold water and drain well.
In a medium saucepan, combine the raspberries, granulated sugar, water, and lemon juice.
Place the saucepan over medium heat and bring the mixture to a simmer, stirring occasionally to dissolve the sugar.
Once simmering, reduce the heat to medium-low and let the mixture cook for 10-12 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the raspberries break down and the syrup thickens slightly.
Remove the saucepan from the heat and let the mixture cool for a few minutes.
Strain the syrup through a fine mesh sieve into a clean bowl or jar, using the back of a spoon to press the liquid through. Discard the pulp and seeds.
Let the syrup cool to room temperature, then transfer it to a clean, airtight jar or bottle.
Refrigerate for up to 2 weeks and enjoy as a topping or in beverages.
