Ingredients
Raspberry Simple Syrup
- 1 cup water 240g
- 1 cup granulated sugar 200g
- 1 cup raspberries, fresh or frozen 120g
Instructions
Raspberry Simple Syrup
- Pour 1 cup of water into a small saucepan. Heat over a medium-high heat until the water begins to boil.
- Add in 1 cup of granulated sugar and stir continuously until the sugar is fully dissolved.
- Add in the raspberries and turn the heat down to low and let the mixture simmer for about 5 minutes. Turn off the heat then mash the raspberries using a potato masher.
- If I'm making this for drinks I usually pour it through a fine mesh sieve. If I'm making this for pancakes or waffles I simmer it for about 8 minutes to let it thicken up a bit and leave the bits of raspberries in there for more texture.
- Pour into a medium-sized bowl to cool to room temperature, then cover and set aside.
- If you're making this in advance, it can be stored in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 2 weeks.

Notes
Fresh vs Frozen Raspberries
You can use fresh or frozen raspberries to make this simple syrup. However, you may want to simmer the mixture a couple minutes longer if you use frozen berries as they add more moisture to simple syrup than fresh raspberries.How to Store This Raspberry Simple Syrup
This recipe can be made in advance or leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 2 weeks or in the freezer for up to 2 months. I usually keep mine in a mason jar but any container with a good lid should work just fine.Nutrition
