CHEATER BERRY SYRUP FOR PANCAKES, WAFFLES...ETC.

Steps:

• 1. Empty both jars of jam into a medium saucepan.
• 2. Add the 3/4 jar of water. Add warm water and shake to get all of the jammy goodness out!
• 3. Dump your berries into the purple pool.
• 4. Mix using a whisk (yeah, I know...some berries get caught in it, but cooking is an adventure!) until incorporated.
• 5. Heat to boiling while stirring, reduce to a simmer (watch it, you do not want it to boil over...MESSY). I help the berries along a bit and partially smash them while the mixture is simmering.
• 6. Continue simmering until mixture is reduced to a syrup-like consistency. Taste. At this point add the lemon juice if you think it is too sweet. With the jam that I use, I never need the lemon.
• 7. Remove from heat, syrup will continue to thicken a bit as it cools. Once cool...serve or put into container of your choice. I use canning jars. The picture above is what was left after serving syrup over four Belgian waffles. Enjoy!
