Ingredient Notes

- Red Raspberries - Fresh blackberries, black raspberries, or strawberries can be subbed for the raspberries.
- Heavy Whipping Cream - You can substitute whipping cream or evaporated milk; however, the syrup won't be as thick.

- Puree 2 Cups of Raspberries in a blender or food processor and press the pureed contents through a fine mesh strainer or a fine sieve to remove most of the seeds.

Recipe FAQs and Expert Tips
I have many different syrup recipes on my website, and I am always asked about canning them. I will be honest. I am not a canning expert. I am hesitant to say yes because of the cream in the syrup. Milk and cream are low in acidity, which, if canned by water bath or steam methods, would have bacteria growth that causes botulism. So if canned, a pressure canner would be necessary. However, it still may not be safe. If this is something you want to do, please contact your local extension offices that specialize in canning to find out what the proper method is.
Keep this syrup in the fridge. You can reheat it on the stovetop or carefully in the microwave.
The shelf life of this syrup is 2 weeks if stored in the fridge in an airtight container.
