Ingredients

  • 3 medium clementines peeled and segmented
  • ¾ cup blood orange juice from about 2 oranges, fresh squeezed
  • ¼ cup fresh or frozen berries blackberries, blueberries, loganberries and raspberries or any mix
  • 1 ½ cups granulated sugar divided in 3 parts
  • 1 cup water divided in 2 parts

Instructions

  • In a small saucepan bring clementine segments, ½ cup of sugar and ½ cup of water to a simmer. Cook, smashing segments with a potato masher or wooden spoon, until sugar dissolves and clementines release their juices. Simmer until slightly reduced, about 5 minutes. Remove from heat and let steep while cooling slightly. Then pour through fine mesh strainer into a jar or syrup dispenser and continue cooling. 
    3 medium clementines, 1 ½ cups granulated sugar, 1 cup water
  • Wash out saucepan  and repeat with the berries, ½ cup sugar and ½ cup water. Bring to a simmer and continue cooking until reduced and slightly syrupy, about 5 minutes. When reduced press on the berries when pushing through the strainer to extract all the liquid. And place in jar to cool.
    ¼ cup fresh or frozen berries
  • Rinse out saucepan again and repeat with blood orange juice and remaining ½ cup of sugar, using no water this time as the juice is enough liquid. Strain to remove any lasting orange pieces and let cool in jar.
    ¾ cup blood orange juice
  • Once cool, scoop shaved ice or snow into a large drinking glass or parfait cup and drizzle with your choice of fruit syrup.

    The ingredients list sugar twice, should one of them be water?

      Hi Irene! I’m so sorry this wasn’t what you were expecting. Typical simple syrup or ‘bar syrup’ is thicker than this fruit snow cone syrup. Typically simple syrup is 2 parts sugar to 1 part water but this is more 1 to 1 part after simmering depending on how ‘juicy’ your fruit is. If you’d like it to be thicker you can simmer again with another 1/2 cup of sugar then cool. Hope this helps!

    I like the idea of incorporating ginger to snow cones to add a little bit of sophistication to its flavor. I’m planning to buy a snow cone machine soon because I’d like to experiment with cold dessert while summer is still not over. Hopefully my kids would like them and help me with ideas on what fruits should I used as sweeteners.
