🧂 Ingredients

2 cups fresh fruit

raspberries and blueberries can be done whole, strawberries should be halved or quartered
3/4 cup sugar

can adjust to taste depending on the sweetness of the fruit
1 cup water

1 Add sugar, fruit and water to a small sauce pan and stir over medium heat until
it is just starting to boil.
2 Reduce heat and simmer for approximately 10-12 minutes until the fruit is soft
and starting to fall apart.
3 Strain out the fruit, keeping the liquid.
4 Add sugar and water to a small saucepan and stir over medium-low heat until
sugar melts.
5 Remove from heat and combine the fruit and sugar/water mixture in a food
processor or strong blender until smooth. If you do not like seeds or prefer it
really smooth, you can strain these out but they didn't bother me.
6 If you're making up multiple fruit syrups using this method, just do one large
batch of the sugar and water and then divide when mixing up the individual
fruits.
7 If you're using these fruit syrups for lemonade, add approximately 2 tablespoons
of the syrup to about 1 1/2 cups fresh lemonade. It's definitely a bit of a
personal preference so add more syrup if it's too tart and add more lemonade if
it's too sweet.
