Ingredients
  

  • 2 pounds raspberries
  • 1 quart water
  • 2 cups sugar
  • 2 tbsp. orange juice
  • 4 tbsp. corn starch

Equipment

  • Large Saucepan
  • small bowl
  • Fine-mesh strainer or cheesecloth
  • Clean and dry container for storing the syrup

Method
 

Wash the raspberries thoroughly under running water to remove any dirt or debris. Pat them dry gently using a clean kitchen towel or paper towel.
  1. a Carefully pick out any stems or leaves that may still be attached to the raspberries.
  2. b Set aside the cleaned raspberries for later use.
In a large saucepan, combine the water and sugar. Stir well until the sugar is fully dissolved in the water.
  1. a Place the saucepan over medium heat and bring the mixture to a gentle boil.
  2. b Reduce the heat to low and let it simmer for about 5 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld together.
Add the cleaned raspberries to the saucepan with the sugar-water mixture.
  1. a Stir gently to combine the raspberries with the syrup.
  2. b Allow the mixture to simmer on low heat for approximately 15 minutes, or until the raspberries have softened and released their juices.
In a small bowl, mix the orange juice and corn starch until it forms a smooth paste.
  1. a Gradually add the orange juice and corn starch mixture to the saucepan while stirring continuously.
  2. b Cook the syrup for an additional 5 minutes on low heat to thicken the mixture.
Remove the saucepan from the heat and let the black raspberry syrup cool slightly.
  1. a Use a fine-mesh strainer or cheesecloth to strain the syrup and remove any seeds or solids, if desired.
  2. b Transfer the strained syrup into a clean and dry container.
Allow the black raspberry syrup to cool completely at room temperature before covering it.

    Notes

    Gently crush some raspberries before adding them to the saucepan for a more intense flavor.
    For a smoother consistency, blend the cooked raspberries before straining the syrup.
    Adjust the amount of sugar according to your desired sweetness level.
    To enhance the citrusy note, add a little lemon juice along with the orange juice.
    If you prefer a thicker syrup, increase the amount of corn starch slightly.
    Customize the syrup's flavor by adding a pinch of cinnamon or vanilla extract.
    Make a larger batch and freeze the excess syrup in ice cube trays for convenient single servings.
