Ingredients

• 2 cups fresh blackberries
• 1 cup granulated sugar
• 0.5 cup water
• 1 tablespoon lemon juice

Directions

Step 1

Rinse the fresh blackberries thoroughly under cold water and drain them well.

Step 2

In a medium saucepan, combine the blackberries, granulated sugar, and water.

Step 3

Heat the mixture over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until the sugar fully dissolves and the blackberries begin to release their juices, about 5 minutes.

Step 4

Use a fork or potato masher to gently mash some of the blackberries to help release more of their flavor while keeping a few whole for texture.

Step 5

Lower the heat to a simmer and cook the mixture for an additional 10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until it slightly thickens.

Step 6

Remove the saucepan from the heat and stir in the lemon juice to brighten the flavor.

Step 7

Strain the mixture through a fine-mesh sieve or cheesecloth into a clean bowl or jar to remove the seeds and pulp, pressing with the back of a spoon to extract as much liquid as possible.

Step 8

Let the syrup cool to room temperature, then transfer it to an airtight container or bottle.

Step 9

Store the blackberry syrup in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks. Give it a gentle shake before using if separation occurs.
