6 ounces fresh raspberries (1 standard-size grocery store container)
1/2 cup sugar
1/2 cup water
Instructions
Stir raspberries, sugar, and water together in a small saucepan over medium-low heat. Bring to a low simmer and cook, stirring frequently, for 10-15 minutes until berries have softened and sugar has dissolved. The syrup should be a rich, dark pink color and the berries should have lost most of their shape.
Turn off the heat and let syrup cool for 20-30 minutes, then strain it through a mesh strainer to remove any large raspberry pieces (Pro tip: Save the leftover berry pieces for smoothies!)
Let the syrup cool completely (usually another 15-30 minutes). Use cooled syrup immediately or store in an airtight container in the fridge for up to a week.
