Blackberry Syrup
- 300 g blackberries

Instructions
Blackberry Syrup (needs to be made earlier and chilled)
- Place all the ingredients in a saucepan and bring to a gentle boil.300 g blackberries, 100 g sugar, 125 ml water, 1 Tbsp lemon juice
- Lower the heat right down and simmer for 15 minutes, by which time the fruit will be soft and falling apart. Squash the fruit with the back of a spoon or a fork to release more juice.
- Strain into a jug/bowl with a strainer double lined with muslin/cheese cloth. Or strain in twice with a fine sieve. Basically, we want a clear syrup with no bits.
- Place in the fridge to chill.
