Ingredients
- 2 cups Mixed berries (blueberries, raspberries, blackberries, or strawberries)
- 0.5 cup Water
- 0.5 cup Granulated erythritol or other low-carb sweetener
- 1 tablespoon Lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 0.5 teaspoon Xanthan gum
Directions
Step 1
Rinse the berries under cold water and remove any stems or leaves. If using strawberries, hull and slice them.
Step 2
In a medium saucepan, combine the berries and water. Cook over medium heat until the berries start to break down and release their juices, about 5 minutes, stirring occasionally.
Step 3
Add the granulated erythritol, stirring to dissolve. Continue to cook for another 5 minutes or until the mixture begins to thicken.
Step 4
Use a fork or potato masher to gently mash the berries, leaving some chunks for texture.
Step 5
Stir in the lemon juice and vanilla extract, mixing well.
Step 6
Sprinkle xanthan gum over the mixture while stirring constantly to prevent clumping. Continue to stir until the syrup reaches your desired thickness, about 2-3 minutes.
Step 7
Remove the pan from the heat and let the syrup cool. It will continue to thicken as it cools.
Step 8
Once cooled, transfer the syrup to a jar or airtight container. Store in the refrigerator for up to two weeks.
Step 9
Serve over pancakes, waffles, or use as a topping for your favorite desserts.
