BLACKBERRY ROSEMARY SYRUP

INGREDIENTS

1 cup blackberries

1 cup demerara or turbinado sugar

1 cup water

A few sprigs of rosemary

RECIPE

Set burner to medium heat Lightly toast the rosemary in a saucepan

Set burner to low heat and add blackberries, sugar, and water to pan

Gently muddle the blackberries in the pan as the mixture comes to a low boil.

Once the viscosity of the mixture is to your likeness (less time= more water, more time= thicker,) remove the saucepan from the heat, and remove sprigs and large clumps (not with your bare hands while it is hot!)

Once cooled, strain the syrup into a jar, container, or vial.
