Triple Berry Blend Syrup Food

HOMEMADE BERRY SYRUP RECIPE

Steps:

• In a medium-sized saucepan, combine the berries, sugar and water. Bring the mixture to a boil, then mash and stir with a potato masher while boiling for 2 minutes, or until the berries are soft and plump.
• If you don't like seeds or chunks in your syrup, strain the syrup through cheesecloth to remove the seeds then return to a clean saucepan.
• In a small bowl, combine the cornstarch and cold water and stir until the cornstarch is completely dissolved, then stir into the berry mixture along with the lemon juice and bring to a boil. Boil for 1 minute, or until the mixture thickens slightly.
• Remove the syrup from the heat and let it cool for a few minutes before serving on pancakes, waffles, French toast, or ice cream. Enjoy!

Steps:

• Wash your jars and screw bands in hot, soapy water; rinse with warm water. Pour boiling water over the flat lids in medium saucepan off the heat. Let stand in hot water until ready to use.
• Add strawberries, raspberries and blackberries to a saucepan.
• Blend 1/4 cup of sugar with the Sure-Jell powder and stir the mixture into the fruit in the pan.

• Stir in the rest of the sugar and return to a full rolling boil.
• Let the mixture boil for exactly 1 minute, stirring constantly.
• Immediately and quickly ladle the very hot mixture into the clean 1-cup jam jars (filling to within 1/8-inch of the top) while wiping jar rims and threads.
• Turn jars upside down after the band has been screwed tightly.
• After 5 minutes, turn jars upright.
