How to Make Versatile Berry Syrup

  1. In a small saucepan, combine 1 cup brown sugar and 1/4 cup cornstarch.
  2. Gradually whisk in 1/2 cup orange juice until completely smooth and lump-free.
  3. Gently stir in 2 cups of your favorite berries (fresh or frozen).
  4. Bring the mixture to a boil over medium heat, stirring constantly to prevent sticking and burning.
  5. Reduce heat to low and continue to cook and stir for 1-2 minutes, or until the syrup has thickened to your desired consistency. It should coat the back of a spoon.
  6. Remove from heat and stir in 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract.
