fruit syrup

Sweet preserved juice

Fruit syrup is a sweet, thick liquid made by cooking fruit or fruit juice with sugar.

It's poured over pancakes, waffles, and desserts, or stirred into drinks: strawberry fruit syrup on ice cream, a splash of fruit syrup in the cocktail.

Commercial versions often contain artificial flavoring rather than real fruit.
