Ingredients
- 2 cups Mixed berries (strawberries, blueberries, raspberries, blackberries)
- 0.5 cup Water
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 2 tablespoons Lemon juice
- 1 tablespoon Cornstarch
- 1 tablespoon Cold water
Directions
Step 1
Rinse the berries under cold water and drain well. If using fresh strawberries, hull and quarter them.
Step 2
In a medium saucepan over medium heat, combine the mixed berries, 1/2 cup of water, and lemon juice.
Step 3
Bring the mixture to a gentle simmer, stirring occasionally. Cook for 10 minutes, allowing the berries to break down and release their juices.
Step 4
Use a wooden spoon or a potato masher to gently mash some of the berries for a thicker consistency, if desired.
Step 5
Stir in the vanilla extract.
Step 6
In a small bowl, mix the cornstarch with 1 tablespoon of cold water until smooth.
Step 7
Gradually add the cornstarch mixture to the saucepan, stirring continuously to prevent lumps from forming.
Step 8
Continue to cook for an additional 2-3 minutes, or until the syrup has thickened to your desired consistency.
Step 9
Remove the saucepan from the heat and let the syrup cool slightly.
Step 10
Strain the syrup through a fine-mesh sieve into a bowl or storage container, pressing down on the solids to extract as much liquid as possible for a smooth texture.
Step 11
Allow the syrup to cool completely before serving or storing. The syrup will thicken further as it cools.
Step 12
Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 1 week, and gently reheat before use if necessary.
