Yumptious! Homemade Boysenberry Syrup and Lemonade

Well, I finally did it.

Yep, I made myself some homemade boysenberry syrup to add to my lemonade.

And it was so easy and so delicious!

(Yes, I know I've been promising you blackberry syrup, but the farmstand only had boysenberries, so boysenberry syrup it is.)

Want to make your own?

Well start off with 2 cups of sugar and 2 cups of water.

Rinse the berries you are using.  Add 1 pint of berries to the sugar and water mixture.

Bring to a boil on the stove and let simmer for a bit to thicken.

Then pour through a strainer and mash what you can through the strainer.

Let cool before pouring into a bottle or jar.

Once cool, refrigerate promptly and this will keep for 1 month in your refrigerator.

I added about 1/2 cup to frozen lemonade concentrate that I mixed up.

So yummy and refreshing!

Won't you join me?  I'll have one waiting just for you.

  1. That sounds so refreshing. I love fresh berries. I might eat them all before I could make anything.
