This gorgeous syrup is a super easy way to preserve otherwise-fragile berries. Drizzle it over ice cream, mix it with seltzer for an Italian soda, or pair it with bourbon or gin in a cocktail.

Steps:
- Gently rinse the berries, pat them dry, and put them in a medium heatproof bowl. Using a fork or potato masher, crush the berries into a relatively even consistency. Add the lemon juice and zest.
- Combine the sugar and water in a small saucepan and put it over medium-high heat. Cook, stirring frequently, until all the sugar has dissolved. Pour the syrup over the berries and stir to combine.
- Set aside and let cool to room temperature, then cover and refrigerate overnight. The next day, strain the mixture into a jar or bottle. (Enjoy the leftover fruit with ice cream or plain yogurt; otherwise, just discard it.)
- Refrigerated, the syrup will keep for at least a month.
