Raspberry Syrup
3 cups of raspberries

Put in a heavy saucepan and bring to boil.
Lower heat to low - med heat allowing to simmer for about 20 mins....(I went longer to get the liquid quantity down) Stir every so often.
Strain with a fine mesh strainer into a glass measuring cup (I used a 4 c one) and gently lift the mash around to get all the liquid out, you want about 1 cup of juice. Rinse the pan and put the juice back in it, add 1/2 cup organic sugar and 1 tsp lemon juice. Bring that to a simmer and simmer for about 5 min. Let cool. Pour in glass jar and keep in refrigerator.
