Chef’s Secret

For a richer, more concentrated flavor in sauces or glazes, reduce boysenberry syrup over low heat until it thickens further.

Substitutions

Best Match

Raspberry Syrup

1:1

Very similar sweet-tart berry profile and color, widely available.

Blackberry Syrup

1:1

Closely matches the deep berry notes, perhaps slightly less tart than boysenberry.

Cherry Syrup

1:1

Offers a sweet-tart fruitiness, but with a distinct cherry flavor rather than mixed berry.

Maple Syrup

1:1

Provides sweetness and viscosity, but a very different flavor profile (earthy, caramel); good for breakfast.

Buying Guide

Read labels to avoid high-fructose corn syrup or artificial flavors. Opt for syrups with a high fruit juice content.
