Notes
Blackberries have lots of bumps which can mean there may be dirt trapped inside. Make sure you soak and wash your blackberries before cooking down into a syrup.If using frozen blackberries, make sure they are fully thawed before boiling and simmering.Sanitized jars or containers are best for simple syrup as they prevent the growth of any bad bacteria.If your blackberry syrup has too many fruit particles, it may need to be strained twice.Serve as the syrup for Vegan Blackberry Pancakes or Vegan Waffles instead of maple syrup.Enjoy it as a drinks syrup for cocktails or soda, or as a topping for desserts such as ice cream or cheesecake.
