Homemade Melted Jaggery Syrup Recipe with Crushed Jaggery
Ingredients:
- 1 cup grated or crushed Jaggery
- ¾ cup water
Method:
1. Add 1 cup grated or crushed jaggery to a sauce pan with ¾ cup water.
2. Heat on a low heat until the jaggery completely melts. Stir well.
3. Filter the jaggery syrup with a strainer to remove impurities.
4. Boil it on a low to medium heat until the jaggery syrup turns thick and sticky. Keep stirring to ensure the syrup does not catch the bottom.
5. To check if it’s done, you can check if the syrup lightly coats the back of the spoon. Turn off the flame once this stage is attained.
6. Cool and store the jaggery syrup in a clean, dry glass jar until use.
If you can check the string consistency, the syrup should be cooked until it passes the one string consistency. The syrup thickens on cooling. This jaggery syrup can be stored up to 3 months or more on refrigeration – provided it lasts until then!

What are the benefits of jaggery syrup vis a vis jaggery. Secondly can it be used in place of honey as it’s difficult to get pure honey these days.
Hi Renuka,
Syrup form is just different in consistency, an easy format to be included in diet. The nutritional value is same. Yes, you can use it instead of honey (as a natural sweetener).
For how long can I store this outside refrigerator??
Hi,
The jaggery syrup stays good at room temperature for 10-15 days and for 2-3 months on refrigeration.
Thanks for jaggery syrup recipe. If the jaggery is bought from reliable market it probably means its pure so do we still have to sieve and boil again?
Hi,
Welcome 🙂 jaggery can be just boiled to make as a syrup, if it’s from a reliable source. Even then it’s better to sieve once 🙂
Can I give this syrup to 7 & a half month old baby?
No dear, you can check the site for dates syrup and give that.
Hi Hema,
Can this made and stored in the fridge? Since, only little bit will get used everyday? From what age can jaggery be given to babies? Thank you.
Regards,
Divya
Yes, you can make and refrigerate it. Also, try to not make too big portions. You can start this once the baby is one year. Before that you can try dates syrup.
