Ingredients

The following ingredients have 1 Servings
  • 1 1/4 cup of strawberries (hulled and sliced)
  • 1 cup of blueberries (or small berry of choice)
  • 1 cup cold water
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • splash of vanilla extract

Instruction

  • On high, blend the berries and water until the berries are pureed.
  • In a medium saucepan combine pureed berries, sugar, and vanilla extract. Bring to a boil over high heat. Reduce the heat to low and simmer until the sugar is dissolved, and the liquid is somewhat translucent, about 20 minutes.
  • Remove from heat and strain the liquid into a medium bowl. Squeeze the pureed fruit to extract as much liquid as possible. Discard the fruit or use it for jam.
  • Add the strained liquid to your saucepan and simmer over very low heat for another 10 minutes or so. The mixture should be slightly thick and syrupy and will thicken more as it cools.
  • Makes about 1 cup of concentrated syrup.
