Thank you for this! I started a home "cafe" for my friends and family to grab a drink while they have to work. Only had various coffee and latte options until now haha!
I made nectarine cheong last week. Gonna make ade by adding sparkling water, add the syrup to soju for a schnapps-like beverage, and I'll use the left over fruits to put on toast with a little cinnamon for a cobbler-like snack.
There’s no exact time depends on the fruit and if refrigerated it can last months. Green plums have a hard exterior and can last years if done correctly and stored well. Not too much opening and fruit should be submerged. Fruits like blackberries don’t tend to last as long. Also too much opening and closing doesn’t help. I like to flip them around for couple minutes with lid on to make sure they are all coated too. Really depends on the fruit.
Once the sugar has all dissolved, is the syrup ready no matter how long it's been? I have had rhubarb in my fridge for only one week and the sugar is all gone, but I'm not sure if that means it's done.
I’m not sure about sweet potatoes… I don’t think this is the best method for that. Maybe try fruits instead? Not sure how to make sweet potato syrup sorry.
Enreikko Huan Karlo Navarro yes! Sparkling water! I use sparkling water or just water a lot for my drinks with the syrups. Have a bunch of ideas posted on my Instagram: homesweetyou
Yes it’s Cheong. Depends on the type of fruits. With the normal green plum you can leave it in but for fruits like berries I would take it out and use the whole fruit part as a spread or anything else. And depending on fruit if it doesn’t have a thick skin I would put in fridge after couple days, hope that helps. You can check out my other cheong videos as well! Thank you!
Hi i made one with oranges and let it sit overnight in the morning some of the sugar dissolved and now theres a gap of no sugar in the jar. Should u add more sugar?
Did you put equal parts sugar and fruit and coat/mix it before jarring? If so it should be fine. Just flip upside down time to time so they are all evenly coated as they syrup.
Hi! I made strawberry & lemonade syrup two days ago :) buuuut I think I messed up because there are a lot of air bubbles in the jars and it kept leaking (I think I filled it up too much). I’m also really concerned with the bubble formation- is it still safe to consume?
Fauve Cruz hmm strawberries and berries are tricky as they don’t last as long outside of fridge. I would let it sit in fridge. I prefer to do different fruits separately as they react differently. I would try it a little now and see if it’s gone bad if not put straight into fridge. Even blackberry I leave out in cool dry area no more than a few days to week and straight in fridge. Fruits that go bad quicker even In fridge like strawberries needs more attention.
Fauve Cruz also make sure all the fruit is covered in sugar and you can flip it up side down a few seconds make sure it’s covered time to time. And try not to open and close too much. But for yours I would check it before putting into fridge.
Thanks for you reply!!! I tried the syrup already- tastes okay to me but there’s a bitter aftertaste. I’m not sure if it’s the lemon or because of the air formation in the bottles? I actually had to throw out a looot of fruits at the top most part of the jar cos it changed colors - looked pale and not as appetizing with all the bubbles tbh 😭 kept the bottles in the fridge since I opened them but is it still okay or has it gone bad already? 😭
Fauve Cruz hmm I’m not sure but to be honest for strawberries I wouldn’t use this method but rather the stove cooking method like jam. Strawberries get moldy fast like the fresh fruit alone in the fridge so I would not recommend. Maybe if it’s still good muddle it and make a lemonade to drink soon! Lemon by itself I do all the time and last very long!
For fruits without hard exteriors like strawberries or raspberries maybe, how much earlier would I check on them if not 2-3 months? I really want to make some as a gift for my family so I gotta make sure I get it right the first time or it'll be a late gift by a few months 😅
I would check it after a week or so once all the sugar looks to be dissolved (you can give it a quick flip upside down if needed- but not long) and make sure it’s in the fridge not out…and if you want to keep it long separate the fruit and syrup making sure no fruit specks are left. You don’t want to make wine! Haha good luck~
Hi! This video helped me a lot with homework on how to make fruit syrup but- I have a question that I need to know- How do you make fruit syrup with passion fruit and Pomegranate? Like- Without cooking it that is.
That’s great! Haven’t tried with with passion fruit. But for pomegranate you can do the same 1 to 1 ratio and just take all the seeds out and add sugar in jar similar to the other fruits.
I would just cook the mangoes and do a mango jam. If the mangoes are sweet already I wouldn’t put too much sugar either unless you are trying to preserve it longer.
I made blueberry wine on accident. I’m not kidding that actually happened. I just made a little bit, enough for like two spoonfuls. And when I opened the jar it had fermented and it snelled like death. So I think I did something wrong lmao.
Blueberries don’t have a thick enough skin so berries in general you have to put in fridge after a couple days Max or even next day. And always in cool dry area for all fruits. And make sure there’s enough sugar fully coated and shake around time to time. Berry wise I only do blackberries because it can last longer than other berries but still put in fridge quick. Sometimes raspberry. But make sure sugar is equal and coated.
Oh no~ try putting it fridge esp with berries. I do blackberries all the time and do a day out in cool dry area and in fridge after. I have it for months and it’s fine esp since it’s in fridge. Hope you have better luck next time!
HI! thank you so much for making this video i've been trying to learn how to make all the different fruit syrups i see those super cute vloggers drinking... question. i tried to make a jar of peach syrup last night and i'm noticing a lot of gass buildup in the jar, do you need to burp the jars regularly like you would with fermented stuff? or did i mess up >.
I try not to open and close the jars for syrup too oxygen in and out is not good for syrups. If you open it once or twice no biggie haha don’t worry. Just leave enough room on top for it to rise a bit don’t fill to the top but also don’t leave too much room, I leave about an inch at most. Are you leaving in color dry area? I haven’t had much issues with gas build up with just fruit and sugar.
go get it I added some notes in the description as I got a lot of that question! Also make sure your fruits are fully submerged once in fridge to keep it longer~
Hi, I'm so new to this. Is it okay if I add water? What will happen if I do? Do I need to store it for a few days before I store it inside the fridge or is it okay to store it in the fridge directly from the start? Thanks
No water just equal parts sugar and fruit, you need the sugar and fruit to do it’s magic and syrup haha. Depends on what type of fruit you are doing. If your are doing sour green plums you should leave out in cool dry area for couple months at least then fridge or it won’t syrup as well because of it’s tough skin. If you are doing fruit like blackberry you can leave out a day or two and then fridge. Or you can put directly in fridge but will take longer to syrup. Really depends on the fruit you are doing.
Tighten, you don’t want too much air getting in to spoil it. You can burp it but try to put in fridge if you do that and leave a little bit of space on top so it doesn’t overflow~ I try not to open and close too much until I’m ready to use it.
@luci opening to release the pressure a little bit and close again. I try not to if I don’t have to. Depends on the fruit you use. Also refrigerate certain fruits with thin skin.
If stored correctly and depending on what fruit you use ir should be ok. But always be careful and watch it. Put in fridge sooner if needed depending on the type of fruit you are trying to do.
@@crazyclumsybros1832 sliced apples? Maybe a day or two in cool dry area and then let it ferment in the fridge. I’ve done green apple with brown sugar and it’s so good! Perfect for fall desserts.
You could but It won’t be exactly the same if you use honey as honey has a very distinct flavor and has a lot thicker. You may have a stronger honey flavor than the fruit. This there are highlights the fruit flavor. But I do use honey for my garlic.
I did a strawberry one a few days ago. Today I checked on it and mixed it around abit. It was really fizzy. Is that normal? We have a hot sommer right now. Should I put it in the fridge for a few weeks??
Strawberries don’t have a thick skin so those you would have to put into the fridge and especially if it’s hot I wouldn’t leave it out… always needs to be in a cool dry area or in the fridge if you need to.
@@henriettebulow2706 I’m not sure… maybe made alcohol? Haha jk but Yeha you might need to start over or be brave to try it? For strawberries I don’t use this method mainly cook on stove with the sugar and then fridge. I do use blackberries though.
@@homesweetyou I will give it ago and see if it taste like yeast. Gotta try with blueberries when our bushes are ready. So this method is mostly used on thick skinned berries and fruits?
@@henriettebulow2706 I prefer to. But when I use pineapples or thin skinned fruit like blackberries I put in cool dry area for couple days max then straight into the fridge.
Yes you can. I’ve done green apples sliced with brown sugar. But make sure you watch it and I would put in fridge sooner. I think I didn’t mine for no more than a month in cool dry area then into fridge and discarded the apples not too much later. Add this to some whiskey and you have a nice holiday drink! Hehe if you are over 21 haha
Never tried this methods with grapes in general. I didn’t want to accidentally make wine haha. The skin of the Concord grapes is fairly thick but I don’t see why not? I would keep in fridge though and I don’t think the seeds would matter you can discard later. But honestly I like to just eat Concord grapes on it’s own haha. Good luck! Or do the grapes and sugar on stove.
Usually it’s made with sugar but you can try it with honey , def will have a stronger honey taste for sure but what fruit were you thinking? I do honey and garlic! It’s good for your immune system
You can but strawberries tend to go bad faster so I will put straight into the fridge. I think strawberries tend to do better when you cook it on the stove with the sugar rather than Letting it sit
i was wondering how do you cann fruit syrups? i am thinking using the water bath method and i tried it with the cranberry but it hardened to be like a sugar block... could you cann after it matures on the counter or do i have to use the cooking method to melt the suga before canning?
If you let it syrup and mature first the sugars melt with the juices from the fruit. It shouldn’t harden but not sure about canning. You mean you want to put straight into cans in raw fruit and sugar state?
@@homesweetyou thank you for your reply. i want to give it to someone as a gift and would like it to last longer than two months. i think i need to seal the jar by putting it in a water bath? but not sure if i need to wait until sugar melts...
I'm debating trying this with peaches and wondering how I'll know if I've accidentally made it alcoholic? Or how I'll know if it's gone bad in general during the making process
If you are doing a fruit like peach I would put directly in fridge right away, it will take longer but it will syrup in fridge. Also make sure all the fruit it submerged and don’t skim on the sugar. Sugar is a preservative so you should be okay you can always try a bit too, just don’t keep opening and closing letting too much oxygen in. And if you take the fruit out after some time it should last longer for fruits like that.
@@mycharmedunicorn8715 not sure how long exactly the peach will last but at least a couple months? Just make sure the peaches are fully submerged and not too much air. If you are worried about it you can remove the peaches and use for dessert or oatmeal or drinks! I use the syrup and fruit both whenever I need them.
You don’t have to but with fruits like lemon or oranges with harder skin it helps better remove dirt, chemical residue, and other unwanted materials from your fresh fruits.
I don’t think honey will have the exact same effect or flavor profile, as honey is such a strong flavor. You can try it but for honey I usually do garlic and honey.
I put a blueberry and strawberry one to sit a few days ago, the fruit was frozen I seen a video that said that was ok..its not even been a week but I opened it up and smelled like achool. Did I do something wrong?
If you are doing fruits like berries I would leave out a day in cool dry area and let it finish in the fridge after. They have super thin skin, also if it was frozen it’s prob more fragile as they thaw out? I have not done frozen fruit as they have more water and moisture from the frost, I would assume. I personally only use fresh fruit and not frozen.
You could but It won’t be exactly the same if you use honey as honey has a very distinct flavor and has a lot thicker. You may have a stronger honey flavor than the fruit. This there are highlights the fruit flavor. But I do use honey for my garlic.
You mean with lots of bumbling? Maybe a little bit not too much, shouldn’t be like soda. It’s not too thick either. What fruit are you using and what temp are you leaving it out at. Should be cool dry area and depending on the fruit put it in fridge after couple days, especially if it’s berries or fruit with no or thin skin. I don’t do berries often other than blackberry.
@@homesweetyou , Thank so much for your reply. I used plums (with the stone removed). It does not bubble like soda, but the little bubbles are visible, if one looks close. I left the process for three months. By that time, all the plums had floated to the top. Some were a little exposed to air because the jar was not filled quite to the top, to prevent the liquid from spilling out (it did before). I’ve never tasted a plum syrup before, so I do not know it it’s still safe to try out. I tried to filter out the liquid into clean jars, but after a week, I see a cloudy growth at the base of the container (which is where most of that gas is coming from)... Do you know if that could be fruit pieces that are still being fermented? (My sieve was not very fine)
@@homesweetyou I just strained out some strawberry cheong today and threw the left over strawberries in a pot and heated it up until it had a jam-like consistency. Those turned out perfect. I suspect it won't work like that for every fruit though
@@gabrieldent8621 sounds delish! Berries and peaches you could do that for! So much you can do with the fruit, I even put on toast or bagels when I don’t have jam haha.
It more of a syrup than a jam and Depends on the fruit. Sour green plums for a very long time I’ve had for almost 2 years but must be in cool dry area and stored properly. Other fruits like berries should be in fridge and fully submerged and prob not too long, I’ve used most of them in few months I don’t make huge batches for certain fruits. But sour green plums and lemon have thick skins so I keep for awhile.
Depends on the fruit you use and how well you store. Like sour green plum can last years! Some fruits with less thick skin prob few months in fridge. They last pretty long and if you separate the fruit later they last even longer.
Forever Green I’ve made with green apples and brown sugar before. Keep in cool dry area and just put in fridge sooner and keep your eye on it. Should be fine!
I’ve had these in my fridge for a long time I know that’s not an exact time frame haha I can’t really give you the weeks or months break down ... certain fruits you can keep out in cool dry area for couple months before the fridge until they ferment/ syrup like green sour plums but others like berries or pineapple I would keep in fridge after a week to couple weeks. I’ve had all my syrups for months in the fridge. As long As they are stored correctly they last long. And make sure your sugar ratio is correct don’t put less the sugar helps preserve it. To be safe I would suggest fridge after syruping time.

My korean wife made 20kg of maesil cheong (green plum sugar extract) 4 years ago and it is still good. We did not need a refrigerator either, bc the sugar is a great preservative.
Hello! Hmm you can but it’s wont be syrup and not sure if it will turn out the way you want?...because it will be super salty. This recipe is equal parts sugar and fruit so if you replace with salt that will be a lot of salt...haha What are you planning to make with it? Anything specific?
You can do with ginger too. But for ginger I would do with honey. I have a video I do with garlic but you can replace with ginger! See here: ua-cam.com/video/aRegCv6R69Y/v-deo.html
You can but for mangoes I prefer to do on the stove? If you do try this method with mangoes put it in the fridge and make sure all the fruits are submerged and not floating on top.

Once the sugar has all dissolved, is the syrup ready no matter how long it's been? I have had rhubarb in my fridge for only one week and the sugar is all gone, but I'm not sure if that means it's done.
You can use it! The longer it stays in the deeper the flavors~ never tried with rhubarb! Let me know how it is!
Hi can I immediately put it in the fridge if the weather in my country is too hot
Yes please do if you live in a hot humid area. It will just take longer but that’s ok.
I guess if you sterilise the jars first, they will keep much longer and are less likely to spoil.
If i were to use sweet potatoes and brown sugar would that ferment? And if It does ferment is It still safe to drink?
I’m not sure about sweet potatoes… I don’t think this is the best method for that. Maybe try fruits instead? Not sure how to make sweet potato syrup sorry.
You can make ade of this fruit by adding sprite right?
Never tried that but sounds good! I usually just do water, syrup and lemon for lemonades!
ive seen people do that in cafes ! they just put the syrup on the bottom of a glass , then add ice and syrup :)) it looks like it'd taste rlly good !
That's what I'm going to try and do! Let me know if it worked for you :)
Sparkling water and club soda would be better. Not sprite

How are the syrups used? Great video!
For anything you want! I use them for drinks/teas and cocktails! Also in desserts, or even meat marinades and cooking. So many different uses.

Instead of using pure white sugar, I use sugar cane.

Usually it’s made with sugar but you can try it with honey , def will have a stronger honey taste for sure but what fruit were you thinking? I do honey and garlic! It’s good for your immune system

Same can be done for strawberries?
You can but strawberries tend to go bad faster so I will put straight into the fridge. I think strawberries tend to do better when you cook it on the stove with the sugar rather than Letting it sit
i was wondering how do you cann fruit syrups? i am thinking using the water bath method and i tried it with the cranberry but it hardened to be like a sugar block... could you cann after it matures on the counter or do i have to use the cooking method to melt the suga before canning?
If you let it syrup and mature first the sugars melt with the juices from the fruit. It shouldn’t harden but not sure about canning. You mean you want to put straight into cans in raw fruit and sugar state?
@@homesweetyou thank you for your reply. i want to give it to someone as a gift and would like it to last longer than two months. i think i need to seal the jar by putting it in a water bath? but not sure if i need to wait until sugar melts...
@@plantdogllc I place in mason jars and mine last some even a year in the fridge after it syrups. Depending on the fruit. Good luck!
@@homesweetyou thank you!
I'm debating trying this with peaches and wondering how I'll know if I've accidentally made it alcoholic? Or how I'll know if it's gone bad in general during the making process
If you are doing a fruit like peach I would put directly in fridge right away, it will take longer but it will syrup in fridge. Also make sure all the fruit it submerged and don’t skim on the sugar. Sugar is a preservative so you should be okay you can always try a bit too, just don’t keep opening and closing letting too much oxygen in. And if you take the fruit out after some time it should last longer for fruits like that.
@@homesweetyou Thanks!
@@homesweetyou how long will the peach store in the refrigerator?
@@mycharmedunicorn8715 not sure how long exactly the peach will last but at least a couple months? Just make sure the peaches are fully submerged and not too much air. If you are worried about it you can remove the peaches and use for dessert or oatmeal or drinks! I use the syrup and fruit both whenever I need them.
Hello, why do you need to wash certain fruits with baking soda
You don’t have to but with fruits like lemon or oranges with harder skin it helps better remove dirt, chemical residue, and other unwanted materials from your fresh fruits.
Show me how they turned out
Can I do this with honey and still have a flavored syrup
I don’t think honey will have the exact same effect or flavor profile, as honey is such a strong flavor. You can try it but for honey I usually do garlic and honey.
I put a blueberry and strawberry one to sit a few days ago, the fruit was frozen I seen a video that said that was ok..its not even been a week but I opened it up and smelled like achool. Did I do something wrong?
If you are doing fruits like berries I would leave out a day in cool dry area and let it finish in the fridge after. They have super thin skin, also if it was frozen it’s prob more fragile as they thaw out? I have not done frozen fruit as they have more water and moisture from the frost, I would assume. I personally only use fresh fruit and not frozen.
So if it fermented into achool; could it be drank?
Honestly I’m not too sure about that haha, I wouldn’t risk it? Haha 😛
...I "saw" a video...
Can I substitute honey for sugar?
You could but It won’t be exactly the same if you use honey as honey has a very distinct flavor and has a lot thicker. You may have a stronger honey flavor than the fruit. This there are highlights the fruit flavor. But I do use honey for my garlic.
Hi! Does it work the same way if I use Monkfruit the substitute for sugar?
Honestly not sure if monkfruit would have the exact effect but you can try!?
@@homesweetyou thank youuu! 💖
@@LeeKPOPx3 Did it work? I was thinking of the same thing so I'd love to know haha! 😊
hello, can you use frozen fruits?
I would recommend fresh fruits. Frozen I have not tried but I would assume it would contain more water or icicles? But I have never tried with frozen.
@@homesweetyou Thank you for info. Fresh fruits here are quite expensive. Will water from icicles grow mold in it?
@@solicynx7853 I’m not sure to be honest but it should really just be the fruit and sugar.
Should the syrups be effervescent?
You mean with lots of bumbling? Maybe a little bit not too much, shouldn’t be like soda. It’s not too thick either. What fruit are you using and what temp are you leaving it out at. Should be cool dry area and depending on the fruit put it in fridge after couple days, especially if it’s berries or fruit with no or thin skin. I don’t do berries often other than blackberry.
@@homesweetyou
,
Thank so much for your reply.
I used plums (with the stone removed). It does not bubble like soda, but the little bubbles are visible, if one looks close.
I left the process for three months. By that time, all the plums had floated to the top. Some were a little exposed to air because the jar was not filled quite to the top, to prevent the liquid from spilling out (it did before).
I’ve never tasted a plum syrup before, so I do not know it it’s still safe to try out.
I tried to filter out the liquid into clean jars, but after a week, I see a cloudy growth at the base of the container (which is where most of that gas is coming from)...
Do you know if that could be fruit pieces that are still being fermented? (My sieve was not very fine)
What can I use the left over fruit for?
Drop them in teas, desserts, alcoholic drinks 😝, etc!
@@homesweetyou I just strained out some strawberry cheong today and threw the left over strawberries in a pot and heated it up until it had a jam-like consistency. Those turned out perfect. I suspect it won't work like that for every fruit though
@@gabrieldent8621 sounds delish! Berries and peaches you could do that for! So much you can do with the fruit, I even put on toast or bagels when I don’t have jam haha.
@@homesweetyou I did also make a red onion and a jalapeño cheong and have 0 idea what I'll use those for. Open to ideas if you have any
@@gabrieldent8621 oh wow jalapeño and sugar?? Not sure how those will taste haha. I pickle my jalapeño and onions korean style haha.
How long can you stores these jam?
It more of a syrup than a jam and Depends on the fruit. Sour green plums for a very long time I’ve had for almost 2 years but must be in cool dry area and stored properly. Other fruits like berries should be in fridge and fully submerged and prob not too long, I’ve used most of them in few months I don’t make huge batches for certain fruits. But sour green plums and lemon have thick skins so I keep for awhile.
How tight are the lids put on?
Pretty tight but the silver canning ones are better.
I just made two lemons so how many tbsp of sugar do i use?
Depends on the size and weight. Equal parts fruit and equal parts sugar. You should weight your lemons and use same amount of oz. in sugar.
Do you pasteurize these?
These are hot heated it’s a no cook version. For certain fruits with soft skin like strawberries I would cook on stove rather than this method.
How long will it last?
Depends on the fruit you use and how well you store. Like sour green plum can last years! Some fruits with less thick skin prob few months in fridge. They last pretty long and if you separate the fruit later they last even longer.
@@homesweetyou noted, thanks for the input
can i make this with apples ??????
Forever Green I’ve made with green apples and brown sugar before. Keep in cool dry area and just put in fridge sooner and keep your eye on it. Should be fine!

How long do they last in the refrigerator?
I’ve had these in my fridge for a long time I know that’s not an exact time frame haha I can’t really give you the weeks or months break down ... certain fruits you can keep out in cool dry area for couple months before the fridge until they ferment/ syrup like green sour plums but others like berries or pineapple I would keep in fridge after a week to couple weeks. I’ve had all my syrups for months in the fridge. As long As they are stored correctly they last long. And make sure your sugar ratio is correct don’t put less the sugar helps preserve it. To be safe I would suggest fridge after syruping time.
What is the self life of these?
Melissa Arose ive had these in my fridge for a long time... certain fruits you can keep out in cool dry area like green sour plums but others like berries I would keep in fridge after a couple weeks. I’ve had mine for months! As long As they are stored correctly they last long. To be safe I would suggest fridge after syruping time.
My korean wife made 20kg of maesil cheong (green plum sugar extract) 4 years ago and it is still good. We did not need a refrigerator either, bc the sugar is a great preservative.

No need to wash frozen fruit, it has already been washed.
Hello fan from india🇮🇳🇮🇳👋❤️❤️❤️
Instd of sugar can i add salt... Becos my parent have diabetes.. Hpe yu reply thankyu
Hello! Hmm you can but it’s wont be syrup and not sure if it will turn out the way you want?...because it will be super salty. This recipe is equal parts sugar and fruit so if you replace with salt that will be a lot of salt...haha What are you planning to make with it? Anything specific?
I made a tangerine one but it exploted xd
Oh no… leave a little more room next time? And cool dry area if not already. If no skin leave out for only few days and put in fridge to finish.

Can I use coconut sugar?
I’m not too familiar with coconut sugar but you can try it? Haha
Does this work with ginger?
You can do with ginger too. But for ginger I would do with honey. I have a video I do with garlic but you can replace with ginger! See here: ua-cam.com/video/aRegCv6R69Y/v-deo.html
Can you use mangoes?
You can but for mangoes I prefer to do on the stove? If you do try this method with mangoes put it in the fridge and make sure all the fruits are submerged and not floating on top.
@@homesweetyou thank you so much . I did it yesterday but with brown sugar to experiment. Thank you for replying I will try to update to see how it went!!
