Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups fresh raspberries
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
- 0.5 cup water
- 1 teaspoon lemon zest
Instructions
Rinse the raspberries thoroughly under cold water and allow them to drain.
In a medium saucepan, combine raspberries, granulated sugar, lemon juice, water, and lemon zest.
Place the saucepan over medium heat and stir until the sugar dissolves, about 2-3 minutes.
Bring the mixture to a gentle boil. Reduce the heat to low and let it simmer for 10-12 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the raspberries break down and the syrup thickens slightly.
Remove the saucepan from heat and let the mixture cool for 5 minutes.
Strain the syrup through a fine-mesh sieve into a clean bowl or jar, pressing down on the solids with the back of a spoon to extract as much liquid as possible. Discard the solids.
Allow the syrup to cool completely before storing in an airtight container or jar.
Refrigerate the syrup and use within 1-2 weeks. Shake or stir before using.
