Chef’s Tips

The secret to a vibrant color: use ripe but firm raspberries

Raspberries should be fully ripe to release their full aroma, but not too soft. This will ensure a bright, natural-colored syrup.

How to get a thicker syrup: balance the sugar carefully

If you want a thicker syrup, you can slightly increase the sugar or extend the cooking time by a few minutes, without overdoing it to preserve freshness.

Perfect storage: sterilization is essential

Pour the syrup into sterilized bottles and store it in the refrigerator. If you want to keep it longer, you can also pasteurize it.
