Comment on Homemade Blackberry Syrup Recipe by Ksenia Prints

In reply to Diana L Taylor. So honestly, I've never done this. Most canning recipes have a much higher sugar-to-fruit ratio, at least 1:1 usually, and any water is extra. So I wouldn't feel safe recommending this.

Can this recipe be canned to use at a later date? I think probably water bath for 20 minutes? Be let me know what you think.

In reply to Terry. Thanks for catching that! I was working on combining two test recipes into one and missed some corrections. Will update the article - the recipe card is accurate as I now make it in the blender all the time :)

Please clarify. In both the narrative, and your "Top tips", you say to muddle the mint and lemon slices - yet this is contrary to the recipe, as written.
Which is the correct method, please?
Many thanks, and blessings for a wonderful weekend!

Do you have a recommendation for a zero alcohol brand of bitters (orange or otherwise)? Due to a health condition, I am not allowed any alcohol, not even the minimal amount one would get from a few drops of ordinary bitters. Thanks! LJS

In reply to Lisa. Nope, not too strong! Whenever making a batch cocktail in advance, I avoid adding citrus peel because it can make things bitter. The rest is a go!

In reply to Kt.

Hi there!

You’re absolutely right to ask, and thank you for flagging it. That was an oversight on our part. The recipe uses ¼ cup Dutch-processed cocoa powder, which has now been added to the ingredient list so everything is clear. We really appreciate you pointing this out so we could fix it quickly.

Hi Kelly,

Thank you so much for catching that, and you’re absolutely right. That was a big oversight on our part, and we really appreciate you pointing it out. The cocoa powder was accidentally left out of the ingredient list, but the recipe has now been corrected. Thanks again for taking the time to let us know!
