Homemade Haskap Syrup
A simple and delicious Canadian haskap syrup recipe, perfect for pancakes, desserts, yogurt, and more.
Ingredients
- 4 cups fresh or frozen haskap berries
- 1 cup water
- 1.5 cups granulated sugar
- 2 tbsp lemon juice
Instructions
- In a medium saucepan, combine haskap berries and water. Bring to a gentle simmer over medium heat. Cook for 10–12 minutes, stirring occasionally, until berries soften and release their juice.
- Pour the berry mixture through a fine mesh sieve or cheesecloth into a clean pot or bowl. Press gently with a spoon to extract as much juice as possible. Discard or save the leftover pulp for smoothies or baking.
- Pour the strained juice back into the saucepan. Add sugar and lemon juice. Bring to a low boil, stirring until the sugar dissolves. Let simmer for 5–8 minutes until slightly thickened.
- Remove from heat. Let the syrup cool slightly, then pour into sterilized jars or bottles. Store in the fridge for up to 3 weeks.
Notes
• For a thicker syrup, simmer longer after adding sugar.
• Frozen haskaps work perfectly if fresh aren’t available.
• Try flavour variations like vanilla bean, cinnamon, or a splash of bourbon.
