🔍 FAQs
Sure! If you’re using something less sweet, increase the sugar a bit.
Fresh has a much brighter flavor, but it’s expensive and a hassle. Bottled is fine!
👩🏻🍳 Expert tips
- Adjust your tartness/sweetness by adjusting the amount of sugar you put into it. Taste as you go to get to your perfect preference.
- Switch it up with some blackberries instead of raspberries. Just increase the sugar to 1 1/4 cups.
- Use frozen raspberries. Sometimes frozen is much cheaper than fresh raspberries in the store, and they work just as great!
- Avoid the seeds! Raspberries do have small seeds, and if that is something you don’t prefer, you can easily press the raspberries through a fine-mesh strainer.
- Use a citrus juicer to juice your lemon. This will save your fingers!
