Homemade Strawberry Syrup Recipe

Ingredients:

  • 1 cup fresh or frozen strawberries, hulled and chopped
  • ½ cup granulated sugar
  • ½ cup water
  • 1 tsp lemon juice (optional, for brightness)

Instructions:

  1. Prepare the Strawberries:

    • Wash and hull the strawberries. If using fresh ones, chop them into smaller pieces to help them break down faster.
  2. Cook the Syrup:

    • In a medium saucepan, combine the strawberries, sugar, and water.
    • Bring to a gentle boil over medium heat, stirring occasionally.
  3. Simmer:

    • Reduce the heat and let the mixture simmer for 10-15 minutes, or until the strawberries are soft and the liquid thickens slightly.
  4. Blend or Mash (Optional):

    • For a smooth syrup, use a blender or immersion blender to purée the mixture.
    • If you prefer a chunkier texture, simply mash the strawberries with a fork or potato masher.
  5. Strain (Optional):

    • For a clear, smooth syrup, strain the mixture through a fine-mesh sieve into a bowl or jar, pressing down on the solids to extract all the liquid.
  6. Add Lemon Juice (Optional):

    • Stir in the lemon juice for a bright, fresh flavor.
  7. Cool and Store:

    • Let the syrup cool to room temperature.
    • Store in an airtight container or jar in the refrigerator for up to 1-2 weeks.

Uses:

  • Drizzle over pancakes, waffles, or French toast.
  • Add to milk or lemonade for a strawberry-flavored drink.
  • Use as a topping for ice cream, yogurt, or desserts.
  • Stir into cocktails or mocktails.

Enjoy your delicious homemade strawberry syrup! 🍓
