So this is how I generally make fruit syrups.
1 cup of water
2 cup of sugar (usually raw, because it brings a nice flavor, but whatever your preference is)
2 cups of washed and chopped fruit in question.
Simmer on low-medium heat for a few minutes to incorporate all the goodness together. Skim off the grossness that forms on top with a spoon. Then strain through a fine mesh strainer into whatever bottle you end up using. Add a bit of vodka so it keeps.
If it's a particularly juicy fruit, you can just juice said fruit and add sugar. so that would be...
1 cup of fruit juice
1 cup of sugar
Put on stove at low heat till sugar dissolves. DONE!
If i want it to a be a sweeter/thicker syrup, i'll use 2 cups of sugar. But i find 1 cup is usually fine for me, and the cocktails I make. Especially using demerara sugar, which tends to make a thicker/richer syrup anyway.
