Ingredients
- 1 cup fresh or frozen berries (strawberries, raspberries, or mixed)
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 1/2 cup water
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
Instructions
- Combine berries, sugar, and water in a small saucepan. Bring to a boil over medium heat, stirring to dissolve sugar.
- Reduce heat to low and simmer for 5 minutes, until berries are soft and release their juices.
- Remove from heat and stir in lemon juice. Let cool for 5 minutes.
- Strain the mixture through a fine-mesh sieve into a bowl, pressing on solids to extract as much liquid as possible. Discard solids.
- Let the syrup cool completely before using. Store in a sealed container in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks.
Tips
- For a clear gelatin, strain the syrup through cheesecloth.
- Use 2-3 tablespoons of syrup per cup of prepared gelatin.
- Adjust sweetness by adding more or less sugar.
- Try other fruits like mango or peach for variation.
