Servings
About 1.5 cups
Ingredients
  • 2 cups Fresh Raspberries
  • 1 cup Granulated Sugar
  • 1/2 cup Water
  • 1 tablespoon Lemon Juice

Prepare the Raspberries

Gently rinse the raspberries under cool water and remove any stems or leaves. Place the raspberries in a medium saucepan.

Combine Ingredients

Add the granulated sugar, water, and lemon juice to the saucepan with the raspberries. Stir gently to combine.

Simmer and Reduce

Place the saucepan over medium heat and bring the mixture to a simmer. Once simmering, reduce the heat to low and continue to simmer for about 10-15 minutes, or until the raspberries have softened and the syrup has thickened slightly. Stir occasionally to prevent sticking.

Strain the Syrup (Optional)

For a smoother syrup, strain the mixture through a fine-mesh sieve lined with cheesecloth. Gently press on the solids to extract as much syrup as possible. Discard the solids or save them for another use, such as making a fruit compote.

Cool and Store

Let the syrup cool completely. It will thicken further as it cools. Pour the cooled syrup into a clean jar or airtight container and store in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks.
