What each ingredient does
- Ripe berries
- Provide the juice and the main fruit flavor of the syrup.
- Molasses
- Adds sweetness and a deep, rich flavor, and thickens the syrup as it reduces.
The step that matters
Boil the mixture for twenty minutes. Boiling concentrates the liquid by evaporating water, which thickens the syrup. Stopping too early leaves it thin and watery, while boiling too long can make it overly thick and sticky once it cools.
