Growing up, I had always loved growing my own fresh fruit including blackberries, blueberries, raspberries, and strawberries. There is something so incredibly rewarding about eating what you grow from your own garden. I have been growing blackberries for what seems to be forever, and I haven’t really known what to do with them (other than eating them of course) until recently when I decided to create a simple blackberry syrup recipe.

One of the many things I love about this blackberry recipe is that it is incredibly easy to make requiring only 20 minutes of your time and only needing 3 ingredients! Now I don’t know about you, but I’d personally make my own blackberry syrup in the comfort of my own kitchen rather than buying it in store online. Especially, when I know there are no artificial sweeteners or flavors! Let’s make this amazing blackberry syrup!

Benefits of making Blackberry syrup:

  1. Fresher flavor.

    • Making blackberry syrup at home captures the bright, fresh taste of real blackberries unlike many store-bought versions that rely on artificial flavoring and sweeteners.

  2. Customizable taste.

    • You can adjust the flavor to your liking. For example, add lemon juice for brightness, vanilla extract for warmth, or even herbs like mint or basil for a unique twist.

  3. Multi-use versatility.

    • Not only is blackberry syrup good in drinks like coffee, matcha, or iced tea, it’s also perfect for drizzling over pancakes, waffles, or ice cream.

  4. No waste.

    • If your blackberries are starting to get a bit soft, turning them into syrup prevents them from going to waste.

Ingredients:

Blackberry Syrup

  • Blackberries

  • Sugar

  • Water

How to make Blackberry syrup:

  1. Wash blackberries thoroughly.

    • It’s always a good idea to wash your produce.

  2. Combine blackberries with sugar and water in a pot.

    • To prevent the blackberry syrup from bubbling over, aim to use a larger pot than you think you’d need.

  3. Cook for 15 minutes.

    • Or until the blackberries have released their juices and begin to get mushy.

  4. Cool to room temperature.

    • I like to put my blackberry syrup in squeeze bottles or mason jars for easy serving.

Notes

  • Make sure to use a large enough pot, it is easy for the mixture to bubble over and that will create a large mess.
  • Stir often to make sure the mixture doesn't bubble over the top.
  • Make sure to press on the blackberries using a rubber spatula to get as much liquid out as possible.
