What is raspberry syrup?

The floral fruity flavour of raspberry, mixed with its sour sweet taste with a mild hint of dairy notes makes it ideal as a syrup for milkshakes, a pairing with soft cheese, creams and drizzled on vanilla ice-cream. This fruit pulp is blended with sugar syrup and is filtered through a flannel bag and then cooled before being bottled. This syrup can be added to a variety of recipes and pairs beautifully with pineapple, white chocolate and mint.
