Nothing goes better with a stack of fluffy pancakes than syrup. This sweet blackberry syrup is just what your pancakes are looking for!
Blackberry Syrup for Pancakes
This sweet syrup captures the flavor of fresh blackberries. Poured over a warm stack of pancakes it makes the perfect summer breakfast.
Ingredients
- 2 cups blackberries
- 3/4 cup water
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 1 tablespoon lime juice
Instructions
- Thoroughly wash the berries.
- In a medium saucepan heat the 2 cups berries and 3/4 cup water.
- Cook the berries until they breakdown and become very soft. Mash thoroughly and strain. Mash the berries in the strainer to get as much juice from the berries as you can. Discard the remaining seeds and pulp.
- Return the juice mixture to the oven and add the 1 cup sugar. Cook until the sugar has dissolved and the mixture has begun to thicken. Add 1 tablespoon lime juice.
- Remove from heat once the syrup is slightly thicker than maple syrup and sticks to the back of the spoon. It should continue to thicken as it cools.
- If not serving immediately, store in the fridge.
Notes
You can cook your syrup a few minutes longer if you want a thicker syrup.
If you would like a sauce rather than a syrup, you can puree the blackberries rather than strain them.

Not just for pancakes, this syrup is amazing with my Easy Whole Wheat Waffles. If you’re looking for another fun breakfast I highly recommend trying these Rhubarb Sweet Rolls.
Storage
This syrup should be stored in an airtight container in the fridge. Homemade blackberry syrup can be stored for 1-2 weeks in the fridge.
