Ingredients
- 2 cups blackberries fresh or frozen
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 1 cup water
Instructions
- Add the blackberries, sugar, and water to a small saucepan and stir to combine.
- Place the saucepan over medium heat and bring the mixture to a simmer. As soon as the sugar has dissolved, remove the pan from the heat. Do not continue boiling, or the syrup will reduce and become too thick for drinks.
- Allow the blackberries to steep in the syrup for 20 to 30 minutes.
- Place a fine-mesh sieve over a bowl or measuring pitcher. Pour the syrup through the sieve, then gently mash the berries with the back of a wooden spoon or potato masher to release their juices. Do not force pulp through the strainer. Discard the solids.
- Cool the syrup completely before transferring it to an airtight jar or bottle. Refrigerate for up to 2 weeks or freeze for up to 3 months.
Notes
- Fresh and frozen blackberries both work well in this recipe.
- Remove the syrup from the heat as soon as the sugar dissolves to keep it thin and pourable.
- For the boldest blackberry flavor, allow the berries to steep before straining.
- For a richer syrup that's ideal for desserts, use 2 cups sugar and 1 cup water, then follow the recipe as directed.
- Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks or freeze for up to 3 months.
