Description

This Raspberry Simple Syrup recipe is a deliciously sweet and tangy syrup made from fresh or frozen raspberries, water, and cane sugar. Perfect for enhancing beverages like cocktails, teas, and lemonades, or drizzling over desserts such as pancakes, yogurt, and ice cream. The syrup is easy to make, involving boiling and simmering to extract maximum raspberry flavor, and can be stored in the refrigerator or freezer for later use.

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.
  2. Boil and Dissolve: Bring the mixture to a boil over medium-high heat, stirring constantly to ensure the sugar dissolves completely.
  3. Simmer: Reduce the heat and simmer the mixture for 15 minutes, stirring occasionally to prevent sticking and to allow the flavors to meld.
  4. Cool and Steep: Remove the saucepan from heat and let the syrup cool for 10 minutes. The longer the raspberries steep, the more intense the flavor becomes.
  5. Strain: Strain the syrup through a fine mesh strainer into a bowl or large measuring cup to remove the raspberry solids.
  6. Store: Pour the strained syrup into a glass jar or airtight container. Allow it to cool completely before sealing and refrigerate. The syrup will keep for up to 2 weeks in the fridge.

Notes

  • Refrigeration: Store syrup in a glass jar or airtight container in the fridge for up to 2 weeks. Use a clean spoon each time and discard if there is a change in color, texture, flavor, or smell.
  • Freezing: Freeze in a freezer-safe container for 3-4 months. The high sugar content keeps it pourable when frozen. Thaw in the fridge for about 30 minutes before use.
  • Usage Ideas: Use in cocktails, mocktails, iced or hot teas, lemonades, and sodas. Great as a drizzle over pancakes, yogurt, oatmeal, ice cream, or brushed onto warm cakes to add flavor and moisture.
