Simple Fruit Syrup

 I don't like syrup on my pancakes, typically. So, every time I make pancakes, I use this lovely fruit syrup instead, which is super easy to put together and tastes delicious! The syrup pictured here is an amazing nectarine syrup I put together! Peeling isn't required, just a quick dice, and it can be easily multiplied or divided to make more or less! Furthermore, if you use blueberries, blackberries, or raspberries, no chopping is required at all since they'll cook down and crush super easily for a jammy syrup.

Ingredients:

• 1 cup fruit of your choice (I find this syrup works best with stone fruits like peaches or nectarines, apples, strawberries, and smaller berries like blackberries, raspberries, and blueberries 1/2 cup water
• 1/2 cup granulated sugar
• dash of salt
• dash of cinnamon 

 Directions: 

1. Chop fruit into a small dice. You can skip this step if you are using a berry that's small enough to not need chopping. 
2. Add to a pot with water, sugar, cinnamon, and salt.
3. Cook on medium-high heat until fruit is softened and syrup is slightly thickened. Syrup should take on some color from the fruit.
