Alpe Pragas Fruit Syrup – Focused on the Essentials
There are many syrup manufacturers on the market, often advertising "high fruit content." However, a quick look at the ingredients list often brings you back to reality. This is not the case with Alpe Pragas fruit syrups, where the fruit content is genuinely high at 50%. And that's exactly what makes the difference, because the higher the fruit content, the higher the fruit flavor and the more concentrated the syrup. Of course, the high quality of the fruits is also crucial here. Alpe Pragas syrups are vegan and gluten-free. Only sugar and lemon juice are added; Alpe Pragas deliberately avoids artificial flavors, colors, or preservatives in their fruit syrups.
Thus, Alpe Pragas syrup, whatever your favorite variety may be, tastes particularly fruity and natural, and even mixed drinks made with mineral water or sparkling wine/Prosecco become a fruity refreshment and a special taste experience. Thanks to the gentle processing of the best fruits, Alpe Pragas from South Tyrol has succeeded in bringing the fruit flavor directly from the field into the bottle. Well done! You should always have a bottle of it in your fridge.
Goodness from South Tyrol – by Stefan Gruber the Fruit Refiner
Alpe Pragas is a gourmet manufacturer that produces the finest fruit products in the heart of the Dolomites. Since 2002, Alpe Pragas fruit spreads have been a permanent fixture in our product range, and from the beginning, we have been enthusiastic about the special quality, intense fruit flavor, and unique consistency of Stefan Gruber's organic fruit spreads, marmalades, and preserves. What is produced in the Alpe Pragas gourmet manufactory brings a smile to every gourmet's face.
The fruits are harvested ripe by hand, pitted, cleaned, and cut, then gently cooked without additives or preservatives. Vitamins and the natural color of the fruits, but above all, wonderfully intense fruit flavor, are thus preserved. The fruity range includes marmalade, fruit spreads with a high fruit content, organic preserves, syrups, mostardas, and chutneys as perfect accompaniments to cheese, meat, or fish dishes. Goodness from South Tyrol for connoisseurs: Fresh, fruity, authentic! Simply delicious.
Recipe for homemade apricot syrup
Mix pitted and chopped apricots with granulated sugar in a 1:1 ratio. Add the juice of 1 organic lemon and let the mixture sit for an hour. Add the same amount of water (i.e., 1 liter of water per 1 kg of fruit and 1 kg of sugar) and slowly bring to a boil. Reduce the temperature and let the mixture simmer for about ½ an hour until the fruits break down. Let the mixture cool slightly before pureeing it and then passing it through a sieve. Reheat the resulting syrup and fill it, as hot as possible, into bottles that have been rinsed with hot water beforehand. Stored in the refrigerator, it will keep for about ½ a year.
