Raspberry Simple Syrup

Step 1

Put sugar, water, and raspberries in a medium-size saucepan and bring mixture to a boil. Once boiling, lower heat and let simmer for about 10 minutes, until mixture has thickened a bit.

Step 2

Strain mixture into a bowl, being sure to press down on the berries to extract as much juice as possible.

Step 3

Keep syrup in bowl or pour into a mason jar and place in fridge to cool completely before using. Syrup will continue to thicken as it cools.
