Fresh Berry Syrup
"This syrup makes plain pancakes or waffles into a gourmet treat. It's also wonderful drizzled on ice cream, cheesecake, or simple cakes. I've even put a spoonful into a glass of lemonade or club soda which makes a beautiful rosy, refreshing drink."

This worked out perfectly :-) I made this with strawberries, andI served this over pound cake (several times hehe), and used it with crepes. I also drizzled some over some fresh fruit salad, and it was very delightful! I was a bit skeptical about trying it in my lemonade (i love lemonade!!!! I drink it all the time), but when I added it and tried it, I was in love! I dont know if I will ever want to drink regular lemonade again!!! :-D -
Couldn't be easier, and it's a real pleaser! I used frozen berries and still followed the recipe. I love the seeds in my syrup, so I didn't strain it, just ladled it right out of the sauce pan while it was still quite warm. It came out like jam only much more liquidy... perfect, really. My whole family liked the change, and with how easy it was to make I'll do it more often.

This is great! I used blackberries to make and we put it on waffles. Yum! I can't wait to make italian cream sodas with this (syrup, cream and club soda or seltzer water)! I'm making a bunch more with the blackberries I picked today and pondering the many uses :) -
Love this! Made with blackberries. Thanks for posting! -
This was very good. I caught my son eating plain. I used blackberries, but I am going to do strawberries next.

<p>Life often interupts our comfortable routines in very unexpected ways and in the past three years I've certainly faced some challenges. As a health nut who ate mostly vegetarian I was beyond shocked to discover that I was diabetic. <img title=Yell src=../tiny_mce/plugins/emotions/img/smiley-yell.gif border=0 alt=Yell /> I shouted and rebelled and cried. But the good news is that I can control my glucose levels simply by eating very low carb. What a complete turn around it was to pass up all my high carb vegetarian foods like grains, and veggies and embrace meat! <img title=Surprised src=../tiny_mce/plugins/emotions/img/smiley-surprised.gif border=0 alt=Surprised /> I've adjusted to this limited diet and thanks to Zaar can eat a nice variety of healthful meals.</p>
<p> The next challenge was a freakish fall I took while in New York with my daughter that left me paralyzed and in much pain. I thank God that I am so much better today after more than two years recovery, with total mobility and just some minor pain in my arms and hands. Cooking and communicating here was not really on my priority list. But, I am back in action and ready to cook, take photos, and enjoy this wonderful community of friends.<img title=Laughing src=../tiny_mce/plugins/emotions/img/smiley-laughing.gif border=0 alt=Laughing /></p>
<p>My husband and I continue to enjoy our grandchildren and being closely involved with their day to day activities. I am also the proud owner of a sweet grey and white cat who came to my door as a little kitten 6 months ago. Her name is Bonny and you can read her story here: <a href=http://www.theanimalrescuesite.com/clickToGive/ps/3/g7hopubcqxji7ub0y6fg target=_blank>http://www.theanimalrescuesite.com/clickToGive/ps/3/g7hopubcqxji7ub0y6fg</a>.</p>
<p> When I have time for myself, I love to do all things artistic...drawing, pastels, paper craft, scrapbooking, and most recently jewelry making. I have set up a website on ETSY ( shown on this page by my website)and you can go there and see my creations.<img title=Cool src=../tiny_mce/plugins/emotions/img/smiley-cool.gif border=0 alt=Cool /><br /><br /><br /><br /><img src=http://i23.photobucket.com/albums/b399/susied214/projects/200_PACpic.jpg border=0 alt=Photo Sharing and Video Hosting at Photobucket /> <br /><br /><img src=http://i23.photobucket.com/albums/b399/susied214/projects/pacbanner.jpg border=0 alt=Photo Sharing and Video Hosting at Photobucket /> <br /><br /><a href=http://photobucket.com target=_blank><img src=http://i80.photobucket.com/albums/j166/ZaarNicksMom/houdini6.jpg border=0 alt=Photo Sharing and Video Hosting at Photobucket /></a> <br /><br /><img src=http://i3.photobucket.com/albums/y53/DUCHESS13/Zaar%20World%20Tour%203/ZWT3-Participation.gif alt= /></p>
