Instructions

blackberry simple syrup

  1. Combine blackberries, sugar and water in a small saucepan. Bring to a gentle simmer, stirring occasionally, and cook 3- 5 minutes until berries soften. Use a cocktail muddler or potato masher to mash up berries and cook another minute. Remove from heat and let cool 10- 15 minutes to let flavors steep. Strain syrup through a fine mesh sieve and discard solids.

Notes

Blackberry syrup will keep for up to 2 weeks in the refrigerator.
