How to Make Blueberry Blackberry Spice Syrup

  1. Combine 2 cups blueberries, 2 cups blackberries, 1 cup granulated sugar, 1/2 cup water, 1/4 cup lemon juice, 1 cinnamon stick, and 1/4 teaspoon ground cloves in a medium saucepan.
  2. Bring the mixture to a boil over medium-high heat, stirring constantly until the sugar is completely dissolved.
  3. Reduce heat to low, and simmer uncovered for 30-40 minutes, or until the berries are very soft and have released their juices, stirring occasionally to prevent sticking.
  4. Remove from heat and let the mixture cool slightly.
  5. Strain the syrup through a fine-mesh sieve into a bowl, pressing gently on the solids to extract as much liquid as possible. Discard the solids.
  6. Allow the syrup to cool completely before transferring it to an airtight container.
  7. Refrigerate for at least 2 hours to allow the flavors to meld before serving. Enjoy!
  8. Store in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks.
