To prepare raspberry syrup for the winter, you need a rich harvest of berries. If you have no problems with raspberries, buy sugar. In the summer you need it especially a lot. After all, this ingredient goes not only in raspberry syrup.

In the hot season of the berry harvest, I want to cook a lot of sweet jam. However, raspberries are a berry that ripens quickly, which means that it is necessary to process it first of all. Raspberry syrup in winter will remind you of hot summer days with aromas of flowers and freshly cut grass. Summer will return to you in the middle of winter. For this, it is worth devoting some of your time to making sweet syrup.

Raspberry Syrup Recipe

List of ingredients:

• very ripe and fragrant raspberries - 1 kilo;
• pure water - half a glass;
• sugar - 800 grams.

Step-by-step cooking technology

1. Fresh berries for raspberry syrup must be sorted out, removedsmall bugs and other trash that have penetrated into it. Wash raspberries in cold water. Let the excess drain off.
2. Pour our raspberries into a saucepan with a thick bottom. Then add all the sugar. Lightly mix sugar and raspberries. Let's leave the resulting mixture for a couple of hours so that the sugar drives the juice out of the berries.
3. After two hours, add the entire norm of water, move the pan with sweet berry contents to the stove. Cook on moderate heat. Do not forget to mix the mass very delicately with a wooden spoon or spatula (merry).
4. The cooking process should continue until the berries soften. It will take about twenty minutes from the beginning of the boil for the raspberry syrup mass. Be sure to descale the raspberries.

How to make syrup

When the mass of berries is ready, our task is to extract syrup from it. To do this, install a strainer (not plastic) on another dish. It can be a smaller saucepan or a cup. Pour everything that was cooked in the pan into a sieve. The juice will immediately begin to flow into another bowl.

However, we need to speed up and streamline the process. To get rid of the raspberry pits in our syrup, carefully rub the boiled sweet berries with a wooden spoon. All the syrup drained to the right place, and the raspberry pits remained in the strainer. You can already throw them away.

Put the resulting syrup on the stove again and boil it for five to ten minutes over medium heat. We count time from boiling. Now the syrup is really ready. Pour it into small jars and cover with screwtin lids.

Dishes for storing raspberry syrup prepared for the winter should be sterilized.

Filled jars turn upside down and put on a folded bedspread or blanket. From above they also need to be wrapped with a blanket. Only after the raspberry syrup in jars has completely cooled down, we will put it in a dark place for storage until winter.

Raw syrup kept in the fridge

This recipe suggests not to cook raspberries. You need to take exactly the same amount of sugar as you get the juice squeezed out of the berries.

The berries must be rubbed through a sieve so that they give their juice to the syrup. Then weigh the juice on a kitchen scale and measure exactly the same amount of sugar. Pour sugar into raspberry juice.

Next is a very responsible procedure for dissolving sugar in raspberry puree. If you do this with a spoon, it will take a very long time to interfere. It will be much more convenient if you use the help of a mixer. It is necessary to mix the puree with sugar, using the lowest speed of the device, so that there is not a lot of air in the final product. The work of the mixer should continue until the sugar grains are completely dissolved. When this happens, the syrup is ready. Pour it into sterile jars and tightly cover with sterile lids. This fragrant natural syrup can only be preserved in the refrigerator.
