Ingredients
- 400 g aronia berries
- 150 g sugar
- 4 cloves
- 100 g water
- Juice from half a lemon
Instructions
Wash the aronia berries thoroughly. Place them in a small saucepan and add the water.
Boil over medium heat for 10 minutes, until the berries soften.
Using a slotted spoon, remove the softened berries and transfer them to a blender. Reserve the liquid in the saucepan.
Blend the berries until smooth. Place a fine sieve over the saucepan with the reserved liquid and pour the blended mixture into the sieve.
Use a spoon to press the pulp through the sieve, ensuring you extract all the fruit’s flesh. Any pulp sticking to the outside of the sieve can be scraped off and added to the liquid.
Once the straining is complete, add the sugar, cloves, and lemon juice to the saucepan.
Simmer everything together for 10 minutes, or until the syrup thickens slightly. The syrup should remain fluid for easy use.
This Aronia Syrup is a rich and flavorful treat, bringing out the unique tartness and earthy sweetness of these super berries. Perfect for drizzling over doughnuts, ice cream, or pancakes, it adds a gourmet touch to any dessert. Enjoy the health benefits and delicious taste of aronia in this versatile syrup! 🍇
