Ingredients
Units
Scale
- 2 cups blackberries (fresh or frozen)
- 1 cup cane sugar (or maple syrup)
- 1 cup water
- 1 tsp vanilla extract (optional)
Instructions
- Add blackberries, cane sugar, and water to a saucepan and bring it to a boil. Stir often in the beginning to make sure the sugar melts properly.
- Lower the heat and simmer for 15 minutes.
- Take the syrup off the heat, stir in vanilla, and allow it to cool for 10 minutes.
- Strain through a fine mesh strainer into a large measuring cup or a bowl.
- Pour into a glass jar and store in the fridge for up to 2 weeks. Wait until the syrup is completely cool before closing the jar.
Notes
Store the syrup in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 2 weeks.
You can keep the strained blackberries to use as jam but I usually toss them because the seeds aren’t too pleasant to eat.
