Ingredients

• 2 cups mixed berries (strawberries, blueberries, raspberries, or blackberries)
• 0.5 cups water
• 0.25 cups honey
• 1 tablespoon lemon juice
• 1 teaspoon arrowroot powder
• 1 tablespoon cold water

Directions

Step 1

In a medium saucepan over medium heat, combine the mixed berries and 0.5 cups of water. Bring to a simmer and cook until the berries start to break down, about 5 to 7 minutes.

Step 2

Using a potato masher or the back of a spoon, gently mash the berries to release more of their juices.

Step 3

Add honey and lemon juice to the saucepan with the berries. Stir until the honey is fully dissolved.

Step 4

In a small bowl, mix together the arrowroot powder and 1 tablespoon of cold water until smooth to make a slurry.

Step 5

Slowly pour the arrowroot slurry into the simmering berry mixture, stirring constantly to avoid clumping.

Step 6

Continue to cook the syrup for an additional 3 to 5 minutes or until the mixture has thickened to your desired consistency.

Step 7

Remove the syrup from heat and let it cool slightly. For a smoother syrup, you can strain it through a fine-mesh sieve to remove any seeds and larger fruit pieces.

Step 8

Allow the syrup to cool completely before transferring it to a jar or container with a lid. It will continue to thicken as it cools.

Step 9

Store the berry syrup in the refrigerator for up to two weeks.
