Simple Syrup

 This is cooking 101. I have some recipes on this site where my simply syrup recipe comes from a different food blog. But increasingly, there are more pop-up ads and what not. So I just decided to post my own so that I could link internally. I have no ads or Amazon links. I'm not making money off this; I'm just sharing for myself and anyone who finds this mildly interesting. 

A friend recently gave me a bag of passion fruit which they have growing over a trellis. Every few years, she will bring me a bag of passion fruit. I usually turn it into juice. Just the other day, a shopping bag of passion fruit was on my front porch so I once again made passion fruit juice. 

Simple Syrup

Ingredients:

  • Water - 1 cup
  • Granulated sugar - 1 cup
Instructions:

  1. In a small saucepan, combine sugar and water and place over medium heat with the lid on. Bring to a boil and cook for about 2-4 minutes stirring often until sugar is dissolved. 
  2. Remove pan from the heat and let it cool, as it cools it slightly thickens up. 
  3. Pour into a container or a glass jar and seal tightly with a lid. Simple syrup will keep refrigerated for about one month.
