Ingredients

  • 2 cups blackberries
  • 1 cup sugar
  • 1 cup water
  • 2 tablespoons cornstarch
  • 2 tablespoons lemon juice
  • 1/4 teaspoon vanilla extract

Instructions

  • In a medium-sized saucepan, combine the sugar, water, and cornstarch. Whisk until combined, then add the blackberries and lemon juice.
  • Over medium high heat, bring to a boil, then mash and stir while boiling for 2 minutes, or until the berries are soft and plump.
  • Remove from the heat, add the vanilla extract and stir.
  • Allow the berry syrup to cool slightly before serving with pancakes, waffles, French toast, ice cream, and more. Enjoy!

Notes

Storing instructions: store in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 2 weeks, or the freezer for up to 3 months. To thaw, transfer to the refrigerator overnight.
If you don't like seeds in your syrup, strain it through cheesecloth or a fine mesh sieve once cooked.
