Ingredients

• 2 cups mixed berries (such as strawberries, blueberries, blackberries, and raspberries)
• 0.5 cup water
• 0.25 cup honey
• 1 tablespoon lemon juice
• 1 tablespoon cornstarch
• 2 tablespoons cold water

Directions

Step 1

Rinse the mixed berries under cold water and remove any stems or leaves. Pat dry with a towel.

Step 2

In a medium saucepan, combine the berries and 0.5 cup of water.

Step 3

Bring the mixture to a boil over medium-high heat, then reduce the heat to low and simmer for 10 minutes, or until the berries are soft and have released their juices.

Step 4

Use a potato masher or the back of a spoon to crush the berries slightly, helping to release more juice.

Step 5

Stir in the honey and lemon juice, mixing until well combined.

Step 6

In a small bowl, mix the cornstarch with 2 tablespoons of cold water until smooth to create a slurry.

Step 7

Gradually stir the cornstarch slurry into the berry mixture. Continue to simmer for an additional 5–10 minutes, stirring frequently, until the syrup thickens to your desired consistency.

Step 8

Remove the syrup from heat and let it cool slightly. If you prefer a smoother syrup, you can strain it through a fine-mesh sieve or cheesecloth to remove the seeds, pressing down on the solids to extract as much liquid as possible.

Step 9

Allow the syrup to cool completely before transferring it to an airtight container. Store in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks.

Step 10

Serve over pancakes, waffles, or as a topping for desserts.
