Do you ever wonder what to do with the leftover juice and syrup from canned fruit?
Here is a great way to use it, by making simple syrup. Simple syrup should be kept in your fridge, but it is great to use in cocktails, like Mojitos, as well as for lemonades, to sweeten iced tea and for dessert sauces!
INGREDIENTS:
Leftover juice or syrup from canned fruit
Sugar
Water
METHOD:
Place all ingredients in a small saucepan – (the ratio is one water to two sugar, the juice or syrup from the can is just extra!) heat and stir until sugar is dissolved. Store in fridge for use.
