Description

This Raspberry Simple Syrup recipe is a sweet and tangy homemade syrup made from fresh or frozen raspberries, cane sugar, and water.

It’s a versatile and delightful way to elevate cocktails, teas, lemonades, pancakes, yogurt, and more.

Ingredients

Scale

Ingredients

  • 1 cup water
  • 2 cups raspberries (fresh or frozen)
  • 1 cup cane sugar
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract (optional)

Instructions

  1. Combine Ingredients: In a small saucepan, combine the raspberries, water, and cane sugar, ensuring all ingredients are evenly mixed before heating.
  2. Bring to a Boil: Place the saucepan over medium-high heat and bring the mixture to a boil, stirring constantly to help dissolve the sugar thoroughly.
  3. Simmer the Syrup: Lower the heat to a simmer and cook for 15 minutes, stirring occasionally to prevent sticking and to allow the raspberry flavor to infuse into the syrup.
  4. Cool and Steep: Remove the saucepan from heat and let the syrup cool for 10 minutes. The longer it sits, the more intense the raspberry flavor becomes.
  5. Strain the Syrup: Pour the mixture through a fine mesh strainer into a bowl or large measuring cup to remove seeds and pulp, leaving a smooth syrup.
  6. Store the Syrup: Transfer the strained syrup to a glass jar or airtight container. Allow it to cool completely before sealing with a lid. Store in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks.

Notes

  • Refrigerator Storage: Keep the syrup in a clean glass jar or airtight container in the fridge. Use a clean spoon to avoid contamination, and discard the syrup if you notice changes in color, texture, flavor, or smell.
  • Freezer Storage: Freeze the syrup in a freezer-safe container for 3-4 months. Thanks to the high sugar content, it should be pourable straight from the freezer. For best results, thaw it in the fridge for about 30 minutes before use.
  • Usage Suggestions: Ideal for cocktails, mocktails, iced and hot teas, lemonades, sodas, or as a delicious drizzle over pancakes, yogurt, oatmeal, and ice cream. It can also be brushed onto warm cakes to add moisture and flavor.
