ingredients
Cranberry and Rosemary Simple Syrup
- 1 cup fresh cranberries
- 3-4 springs fresh rosemary
- 1 cup water
- 1 cup sugar
To make the simple syrup:
Step 1
Rinse 1 cup of fresh cranberries in a colander and set them aside. Gather 3-4 sprigs of fresh rosemary.
Step 2
In a saucepan over medium heat, combine 1 cup of water and 1 cup of granulated sugar. Stir the mixture until the sugar is completely dissolved, then remove the saucepan from heat.
Step 3
Pour the rinsed cranberries into the simple syrup, ensuring they are well-coated. Be cautious not to leave the cranberries in the syrup for more than a few minutes to prevent them from bursting.
Step 4
Repeat the same process with the sprigs of fresh rosemary. Gently coat the rosemary in the simple syrup.
Step 5
Allow the infused syrup to cool before transferring it to an airtight container. Store the container in the refrigerator for up to a week.
