But the final product is worth the extra effort!<\/p>\n<p><strong>Muddling or Blending Fruit with Simple Syrup<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>For Fruits with a high water content like berries, melon, stone fruit, etc,\u00a0<strong>consider simply <a href=\"https:\/\/abarabove.com\/cocktail-muddlers-a-quick-guide\/\" data-wpel-link=\"internal\">muddling<\/a> the fruit into your syrup.<\/strong>Chop the fruit into 1\u2033 or smaller pieces and muddle in the bottom of a bowl or cocktail shaker. Combine with syrup and stir. Add fruit and continue to muddle to taste. Fine-strain out the fruit when you\u2019re happy with the flavor.<\/p>\n<p>If you\u2019re lazy like me, I\u2019ll sometimes take this approach: Add a small portion of your syrup and your flavoring ingredient to a blender and blend. Then fine-strain the bits from your blended mixture to create an ultra-concentrated syrup. Add it back to the rest of your unflavored syrup until you\u2019re happy with the flavor.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Macerated Fruit Syrup<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Another method for fruit: While this isn\u2019t technically a \u201csimple\u201d syrup, if you\u2019re looking to make a sugar syrup with a fruit that has a high water content, I\u2019d actually recommend\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/abarabove.com\/recipe\/white-wine-berry-sangria\/\" data-wpel-link=\"internal\"><strong>maceration<\/strong><\/a> instead. Simply chop the fruit into small pieces in a bowl and add sugar. Stir to coat, cover, and let it sit for a couple of hours. The sugar will help draw the liquid out of the fruit and when you return, you\u2019ll find a bowl of fruit chunks swimming in delicious fruity syrup.<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p><strong>Calibrating your Sweetness<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Note that for both of these methods, you will want to taste check the sweetness of your syrup as it will likely be watered down by the water in the fruit, but may also become sweeter if the fruit is sweeter as well. Try to add sugar or water as needed to retain the same level of sweetness as your original (unflavored) syrup. (You may need to make a small amount of unflavored syrup for comparison. Don\u2019t worry, it\u2019ll go to good use!<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Muddling or Macerating: For Ripe Fruit with High Water Content It can be a bit tricky to work with fruit and syrups because the fruit bring such a high water content, and an unknown amount of sugar.
