Sugar is sweet on its own, but when paired with dried berries, and the most adorable printables I’ve come across to date, you have a lovely little DIY berry infused sugar on your hands, just in time for Valentine’s Day!

The idea for this DIY was inspired by the one of a kind Valentine’s prints from Erisha of A Thing Created, who I’m always delighted to work with! How fabulous are her illustrations?! I love the way she incorporated the heart signage and paired the gingham skirt with the ankle strap heels using her fashion forward approach.

My bottles of sugar were immediately transformed into mini Valentine’s fashion moments when I attached them. Like a makeover for the bottles, which tied in beautifully with the red and pink shaded sugar. Fitting for Valentine’s Day and the ones you love.

DIY BERRY INFUSED SUGAR

These sugars paired with the prints are certainly pretty enough just sitting atop a counter, but they’ll be adored once tasted and used as a surprising replacement for anything that requires sugar!

Granulated sugar infused with freeze-dried raspberries and strawberries for the sweetest and ultimate homemade Valentine’s gifts.

Description

The sugar infusions only feature two ingredients and are naturally colored. They instantly add delicious flavor to baking recipes such as cookies and cakes and also an extra bit of flavor to morning grains, or plain yogurt.

Ingredients

Scale

4 washed miniature bottles with seal (8 inches tall). I found mine at Michaels $1.99 a piece.

4 cups organic white sugar (divided into 2 separate bowls).

1 cup dried strawberries & 1 cup dried raspberries (only use the kind that are crisp and freeze-dried) (divided into 2 separate bowls).

Magic Bullet or blender.

Strainer.

Funnel.

Cook Mode Prevent your screen from going dark

Instructions

INSTRUCTIONS:

Using a Magic Bullet or similar, blend strawberries to a fine dust (about 30 seconds).
Simply pour blended berry dust into 1 of the bowls of sugar and stir until incorporated.
Repeat these steps to make the Raspberry sugar, being sure to run the raspberry powder through a fine strainer to remove the seeds.
Place funnel into each empty bottle and pour infused sugar over top.
Each bottle will hold approximately 1 cup of the sugar and berry blend.
Once the bottles have been filled and sealed, they’re ready for packaging.
Makes 4 servings.

Supplies

Valentine’s Printables from A Thing Created – Etsy

Scissors.

Hole punch.

Four 12 inch pieces of ribbon or bakers twine.

Embellishments (optional)

Instructions

Cut each printable into shape.

Using hole punch, punch one hole into the top left and top right side of each print.

Thread ribbon/twine through the front side of each printable and wrap around the upper neck of the bottle.

Tie tightly and attach any additional embellishments to the side opposite of the printables.

I added leftover glittered clothespins and mini labels to mine for a finishing touch.

Another option would be to actually write and personalize right on the valentine’s prints.

These are ready for gifting!
