I just priced it. An 8.5 ounce bottle of Raspberry Syrup costs $6.99. But neener-neener, I just made some for pennies.
Now granted, I got the raspberries for free – although we did pick them ourselves – and time is money, so there’s that. We got fresh air, sunshine, time with friends, and a bit of a workout while picking (swatting bugs) – so I’m going to go with priceless on this endeavor.
Friends, let us not ever pay seven bucks for a tiny bottle of sugary syrup. Let us, instead, save oodles of money by making our own. Let us keep the ingredients healthy. Let us drizzle this good stuff all over our pancakes and waffles, and even top it with homemade whipped cream. Then let us rejoice together at the amazing deliciousness of this treat.
Check out what I finally, finalllllly set up for you here! I seriously should have done this five years ago, but by default it fell low on my to-do list. Therefore, I skipped some housecleaning this weekend and got this done. Seeing as cleaning isn’t my fav, this to-do list swap was perfectly okay with me.
Little by little I’ll switch over all my hundreds of recipes to be easy to read and print like this. You can even leave a recipe review after you give it a try! It is too fun.
- 3 cups fresh or frozen raspberries
- 2 Tablespoons sucanat
- In a saucepan, stir raspberries and sucanat over medium heat for about 10 minutes, stirring occasionally until the berries are tender and the ingredients have formed a syrup.
- Serve warm over pancakes or waffles.
If you need some pancakes or waffles to go with your Raspberry Syrup, here are our favorite recipes:
Hope you are enjoying fall weather, fall food, and fall um…what else? What do you love about fall? I’d have to say it’s all pretty fun except for the way fall soccer season makes our shoe closet smell absolutely terrifying. Ask me how I felt when I realized that all of the York College cheerleaders came into my living room and walked right by the open – OPEN – closet door before I realized that one of my boys had left it that way. Messy closet aside, I just hated that they had to be put through the torture of breathing in the green cloud. No one died, and we are grateful.
One of my boys said that he feels it’s best to leave the closet door open so that it can air out. This is a great idea except for how that creates 3,000 square feet of stink throughout our entire house (notice the double meaning on the word feet there). SHUT THE CLOSET DOOR already. Or maybe burn the shoes.
Friends, you are so sweet to hang out with me here. You all smell so good and you are so nice. Here you came by for a Raspberry Syrup recipe and I share all the gross details of my happy life.
Raspberry Syrup smells oh so sweet. It also tastes good. And look! I installed a new easy-to-use recipe reader and printer-outer.
That was me, distracting you and taking you back to the good parts of this post. Love ya.
Bahaha!! Wafting through the cloud just fine ;) I only have one boy (15), but he works hard around the house, and helping his Papa a lot (it literally takes maybe 45 seconds to walk to my parents. We have our own little “community”), so he stinks like an entire soccer team, lol! I wash frequently, and use LOTS of baking soda ;) On a nicer smelling note, LOVE the raspberry recipe! I’d never had raspberry anything until I started following your site, and decided to try it. The first time I tried it was when I made the raspberry oatmeal bars, and it was divine!! <3
Oh my yes – about the closets! Why is so against their nature to close a closet door! My four boys all do this but so does my daughter. I’m glad to know that I’m not alone. :) Enjoy your syrup – we made some this summer but sadly it is all gone. :(
Have a great week!
Thank you for the new recipe set up!!!! We live in a green cloud too. Both my boys have very physical jobs so they come home quite stinky especially their work boots. My husband is a long distance runner and we live on a farm………need I say more?! Our clouds give new meaning to “green” living do they not? :o/
Is it just me? The recipe is unreadable on my iPhone. Where I believe you put it, it says [yum-recipe id =’1′]
My iPhone is my source of online accessibility, so I hope I can still see your recipes!! :)
I’m going to look into this to see how to make it mobile friendly!
Would you be willing to check this on your phone again to see if it shows up for you now? Hopefully it’s mobile friendly now!
I can’t see the recipe either! I’ll try from my computer tomorrow, but my phone is my main means of access. I show the same thing as Amy for this recipe & the first one linked. The other three linked I can read with a little “yum” button under them.
Thank you for letting me know…I’m looking into this!
Can you check on your phone again now to see if it shows up for you. Hopefully I fixed it!
YUM!!
Now, because I know you love DIY and saving money and healthy ingredients and pumpkin, I will tell you what I saw at the store the other day and turn you loose on it: Pumpkin Spice syrup. It was about $5 for 8oz and full of corn syrup. It sounds like such a good idea though, since not everyone in my family appreciates pumpkin spice pancakes and because you could also use it in or on other foods (think coffee or ice cream maybe.)
Love your site!
Ooh, great challenge! I’ll see what I can come up with!
It works!! Yay!! Thanks. :)
Awesome, thank you!
This raspberry syrup sounds really good, but I’m curious if you think it would also work with blueberries instead?? I have a bunch of blueberries in my freezer and I like making syrup for our waffles, but the only easy recipe I have calls for 1 cup of sugar and some cornstarch and water, I would love to find a recipe with less sugar. =D
Yep, works for blueberries, peaches, or strawberries even!
Yay! I can see it now. Thank you!
