Raspberry and Blueberry Syrup

berrysyrupHomemade berry syrup tastes more like fruit than sugar compared to store bought versions. Making the simple, beautiful recipe is also a great hostess gift.

2 (6 oz) containers fresh raspberries
2 (6 oz) containers fresh blueberries
1 cup sugar
½ cup water
½ cup Chambord, berry liqueur or water

Bring berries, sugar, and the water to a boil in a small saucepan over medium heat; boil 1 minute. Strain through a fine sieve into a small bowl, pressing to extract liquid; discard pulp. Stir in liqueur, if using. Let cool completely.

Makes 2½ cups.
