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)

Directions

Step 1

In a medium saucepan, combine the mixed berries and 1/2 cup of water.

Step 2

Place the saucepan over medium heat and bring the mixture to a gentle simmer.

Step 3

Stir occasionally and allow the berries to cook down, about 5-7 minutes, until they are soft and have released their juices.

Step 4

Use a fork or potato masher to mash the berries to your desired consistency.

Step 5

Stir in the lemon juice and vanilla extract.

Step 6

In a small bowl, create an arrowroot slurry by mixing 1 tablespoon of arrowroot powder with 2 tablespoons of water until smooth.

Step 7

Gradually stir the slurry into the berry mixture, continuing to stir until the syrup thickens, about 2-3 minutes.

Step 8

Once thickened, remove the syrup from heat and allow it to cool slightly.

Step 9

Pour the syrup through a fine-mesh sieve into a clean jar or jug to remove seeds and pulp, ensuring a smooth syrup.

Step 10

Serve warm or store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to one week.
