How do make syrup

See Baklavas , Melomakarona or pastelli. Try other versions such as replacing white or caster sugar with demerara or raw sugar for a richer flavour. You can adjust the ratios and make it more dense and sweeter by adding more sugar or honey or lighter by adding more water.

In Greek desserts we usually flavour syrups with a cinnamon stick, whole cloves and thinly cut lemon peel. In some Cypriot recipes we also add some blossom water or rose, which brings the dessert to another dimension. See Daktyla. Fragrant geranium leaves also give a wonderful aroma and flavour syrups and, therefoe, we use them a lot in Greek fruit preserves and jams.

You can replace water with fruit juice. Fore example if you are making an orange cake which needs a syrup, adding syrup made with orange juice will give more flavour and colour to the cake. However, here you will not add the same ratio of sugar to water, as the fruit juice contains natural fructose, so it will be much sweeter. The cooking time for a normal syrup is 5 minutes after the syrup starts boiling. If you boil it more, the water will evaporate and make a thicker syrup.

If you have leftover syrup you can place it in a clean jar and store it in the refrigerator for a couple of weeks. Great recipe! This is my go to. Thank you.. Hopefully, the syrup will be great for you then! Will definitely make again! This was so easy and delicious! I realized in the middle of making waffles that we were out of syrup. I was able to make this quickly. My sons asked that our syrup be homemade from now on! Kid approved!! Absolutely delicious and so easy to make! Thank you! Easy and delicious!

The butter improves the texture as well as the flavor. First time making homemade syrup. Very easy to do. I love the flavor, but it is a bit to strong on the butter flavor for us. Is the butter needed to set the syrup or just flavor. Great receipe. It was decent but it was a little grainy. Also, it started to solidify really quickly. Any tips for these issues? Did you substitute any ingredients, Jo-Gianna? Really great syrup! This was so awesome! Will definitely make again.

Pairs well with homemade hotcakes. Let cool, then pour into a glass jar and seal tightly with a lid. Simple syrup will keep, refrigerated, for about one month. Actively scan device characteristics for identification.
