Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups fresh or frozen mixed berries
- 0.5 cups water
- 2 tablespoons fresh squeezed lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 tablespoon arrowroot powder
- 2 tablespoons water (for arrowroot slurry)
Instructions
In a medium saucepan, combine the mixed berries and 1/2 cup of water.
Place the saucepan over medium heat and bring the mixture to a gentle simmer.
Stir occasionally and allow the berries to cook down, about 5-7 minutes, until they are soft and have released their juices.
Use a fork or potato masher to mash the berries to your desired consistency.
Stir in the lemon juice and vanilla extract.
In a small bowl, create an arrowroot slurry by mixing 1 tablespoon of arrowroot powder with 2 tablespoons of water until smooth.
Gradually stir the slurry into the berry mixture, continuing to stir until the syrup thickens, about 2-3 minutes.
Once thickened, remove the syrup from heat and allow it to cool slightly.
Pour the syrup through a fine-mesh sieve into a clean jar or jug to remove seeds and pulp, ensuring a smooth syrup.
Serve warm or store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to one week.
