Ingredients

  • 2 cups Mixed Berries any combination of fresh or frozen blueberries, strawberries, blackberries or raspberries
  • 1 cup Sugar
  • 1 cup Water
  • 2 Tablespoons Cornstarch
  • 2 Tablespoons Water cold
  • 2 Tablespoons Lemon Juice

Instructions

  • In a medium-sized saucepan, combine the berries, sugar and water.  Bring the mixture to a boil, then mash and stir with a potato masher while boiling for 2 minutes, or until the berries are soft and plump.  
  • If you don't like seeds or chunks in your syrup, strain the syrup through cheesecloth to remove the seeds then return to a clean saucepan.
  • In a small bowl, combine the cornstarch and cold water and stir until the cornstarch is completely dissolved, then stir into the berry mixture along with the lemon juice and bring to a boil. Boil for 1 minute, or until the mixture thickens slightly.
  • Remove the syrup from the heat and let it cool for a few minutes before serving on pancakes, waffles, French toast, or ice cream.  Enjoy!
