Raspberry Pancake Syrup

 

Raspberry Pancake Syrup


  • 2 cups raspberries fresh or frozen
  • 1 cup white sugar
  • 1 cup water
  • OPTIONAL: 
  • 2 tablespoons cornstarch
  • Splash of water

Raspberry Pancake Syrup

  • Add the raspberries, sugar, and water to a small saucepan on the stove. Bring the mixture to a boil over medium-high heat, stirring every so often to help dissolve the sugar.
  • As the raspberry mixture heats, stir together the cornstarch and water in a small cup to make a slurry. Add the cornstarch slurry to the raspberry mixture once it comes to a boil. Continue to boil for another minute, just until thickened. Turn off heat.
  • To make a smooth syrup, strain the mixture through a fine-mesh sieve.
