Raspberry Syrup Recipes

Steps:

• Blend 1½ cups raspberries with 1 cup water in a blender until puréed, about 45 seconds.
• Add purée to a small saucepan over medium heat and cook until mixture begins to boil. Immediately reduce heat to low and continue to cook, stirring frequently, for 7 minutes. Remove from heat and allow to cool for 5 minutes. Rinse out blender jar.
• Strain purée through a tea strainer or chinois (cheesecloth optional) into a heatsafe liquid measuring cup, stirring and pressing on solids, until you have 1 cup raspberry juice. Discard any excess. Transfer raspberry juice to blender, add 2 cups granulated sugar, and blend until well mixed and sugar is completely dissolved, about 1½ minutes.
• Transfer mixture to a clean, resealable glass jar and refrigerate until chilled. Shake jar before using. Raspberry syrup will keep 2 weeks in the refrigerator-or you can freeze it for several months.

Steps:

• Bring water and sugar to a boil in small saucepan, stirring occasionally, until sugar is dissolved, 5 to 10 minutes. Remove saucepan from heat and stir in raspberries. Mash mixture using a potato masher or fork. Let mixture steep for at least 1 hour.
• Drain mixture through a fine mesh strainer, pressing raspberry pulp with a spatula to extract as much liquid as possible. Discard solids and store syrup in a sealed container in the refrigerator.

Steps:

• In a medium saucepan, combine sugar and cornstarch.
• Stir in water.
• Over medium heat, bring mixture to a boil.
• Cook until thickened, stirring constantly.
• Stir in the raspberries.

Steps:

• Combine raspberries, sugar, and water in a medium saucepan over medium-high heat. Cook, stirring occasionally, until raspberries break down slightly and release some of their juice, about 6 minutes. Remove from heat; let stand for 15 minutes. Strain mixture through a fine sieve, pressing down on solids to extract as much liquid as possible. Refrigerate for at least 1 hour.
