Southern With A Twist: Blackberry Syrup
A little over a month ago I had a customer send me a message... " I ate some stuff at a place and you poured it out and it was like blueberry syrup and it had whole blueberries in it you could put it over pancakes it was like a syrup that you poured over pancakes and it was floating in blueberries ...do you know how to make that?" Sure! I can do that! So he ordered 6 QUARTS of Blueberry Syrup! LOL
Apparently, that inspired him because he also wants 3 quarts of Blackberry Syrup and 3 quarts of Strawberry Syrup.
Blackberry Syrup with whole berries!
3 cups fresh blackberries
1 cup granulated sugar
1 tablespoon lemon juice
1 cup water
Add blackberries, sugar, lemon juice and water to a medium sauce pan over medium heat. Bring to a boil, stirring occasionally, and boil until the temperature reaches 225 degrees. Remove from heat and allow to cool slightly before use. Transfer to a quart jar and store in the refrigerator for up to 6 months.
**You can process the quarts in a waterbath for 15 minutes and store in your pantry.
