Fruit Syrups

To flavor the syrup, you can use just one kind of berry or fruit, or a combination of favorites.
 
Ingredients
2  cups berries or diced fruit(pitted or cored) such as pears, peaches, or plums    
1  cup maple syrup    
1  vanilla bean(optional) 

Directions
1. 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. 

2. Split vanilla bean, if using, and scrape seeds into mixture. Add bean to bowl. 

3. 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.  Makes 3 cups.
