Ingredients

• 2 cups mixed berries (fresh or frozen)
• 1 cup granulated sugar
• 1 cup water
• 1 tablespoon lemon juice
• 1 tablespoon cornstarch
• 2 tablespoons cold water

Directions

Step 1

In a medium saucepan, combine the mixed berries, granulated sugar, water, and lemon juice.

Step 2

Place the saucepan over medium heat and bring the mixture to a gentle boil, stirring occasionally to dissolve the sugar.

Step 3

Once boiling, reduce the heat to low and simmer for about 10 minutes, allowing the berries to soften and release their juices.

Step 4

In a small bowl, mix the cornstarch with cold water until smooth to create a slurry.

Step 5

Gradually add the cornstarch slurry to the berry mixture while stirring continuously to prevent any lumps from forming.

Step 6

Continue to simmer the syrup for another 3-5 minutes until it thickens to your desired consistency.

Step 7

Remove the saucepan from the heat and let the syrup cool slightly.

Step 8

If a smooth texture is preferred, strain the syrup through a fine-mesh sieve to remove seeds and pulp.

Step 9

Transfer the syrup to a clean jar or bottle and let it cool completely before sealing and storing.

Step 10

Store the berry syrup in the refrigerator for up to two weeks, and enjoy it drizzled over your favorite breakfast dishes or desserts.
