Ingredients
- 1 cup white sugar
- 1 cup filtered water
- 2 cups fresh raspberries
Instructions
- Begin by washing your fresh raspberries thoroughly to remove any dirt or debris.
- In a medium saucepan, combine the white sugar, filtered water, and raspberries over medium heat.
- Stir occasionally until the sugar fully dissolves, gently mashing the raspberries as they cook to release their juices.
- Allow the mixture to simmer for 10 minutes to let the flavors fully develop.
- Remove from heat and let the syrup cool to room temperature.
- Strain the syrup through a fine mesh strainer to remove the raspberry solids, pressing gently to extract every bit of flavor.
- Transfer the finished syrup to a clean, airtight container and refrigerate. It will keep for up to three weeks.
