What each ingredient does
- Dried raspberries
- Provide the main flavor and body as the fruit rehydrates and softens in the water.
- Sugar
- Sweetens the fruit and balances its tartness.
The step that matters
Adding the sugar and boiling briefly. Sugar dissolves best in hot liquid, so it should be stirred in fully. Boiling it only briefly keeps the raspberries from breaking down into mush and the syrup from becoming overly thick.
