Fruits In Syrup Recipes

Steps:

• Heat the preserves and the milk in the microwave for about ten seconds -- you don't want the milk to boil, you want it to be warm.
• Stir briskly until the preserves have dissolved. If it's too watery, add xanthan gum as needed to reach desired consistency.

Steps:

• Combine fruit and syrup in a small bowl. If using berries, press them with the back of a spoon until they just start to break apart. For a smoother syrup, press through a sieve.
• Split vanilla bean, if using, and scrape seeds into mixture. Add bean to bowl.
• Transfer mixture to a bottle or another container, cover, and refrigerate. Use within 3 or 4 days. Before serving, the syrup can be warmed in a small saucepan over low heat to desired temperature.

Steps:

• Combine juice and sugar in medium sauce pan.
• Bring to a boil.
• Let boil for a few minutes (until sugar is completely dissovled).
• Let cool for about 30 minutes.
• Pour into containers (I used an old glass syrup bottle) and store in fridge.
