Cranberry-Thyme Syrup
Author: Nicole
Ingredients
  • 1 cup fresh cranberries
  • 1 cup raw sugar
  • 1 cup water
  • 3 sprigs of fresh thyme
  • 6 juniper berries
Instructions
  1. Bring cranberries, sugar, water, thyme and juniper berries to a boil in a medium saucepan set over medium-high heat. Stir sugar until it completely dissolves.
  2. Let mixture boil for 2 minutes, breaking up cranberries with the back of a wooden spoon to break them down.
  3. Remove the pan from the heat and set aside to cool to room temperature allowing the flavors to deepen – about 2 hours.
  4. Once cooled, pour syrup through a strainer and discard the solids. Pour it once again through the strainer to remove any small solids (you’ve now double strained the syrup).
  5. Store in a glass jar. Keeps about 2 months in the refrigerator.
Notes
* Recipe can easily be doubled or tripled - just use a larger pan for heating.
* If you don’t have raw or Turbinado sugar, you can use regular white sugar.
