Equipment

Ingredients

  • 1.5 cups strawberries fresh or frozen washed and stems removed
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 cup water
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice
  • 1/2 tablespoon salt

Instructions

  • Add strawberries (fresh or frozen), sugar, water, lemon juice, and salt to a saucepan. Stir to combine, then turn the heat to high and bring to a boil.
  • Once boiling, use a potato masher to gently mash the strawberries to bring out extra strawberry flavor.
  • Turn the heat down to medium low, and let the mixture simmer for 10 minutes.
  • Carefully scoop out the strawberry pieces using a strainer and place in a separate bowl.
  • Once the strawberries pieces are removed, pour the syrup through the strainer to remove any thick jelly-like texture. Repeat 2-3 times.
  • Let the Homemade Strawberry Syrup cool at room temperature for at least an hour before adding a lid and storing in the fridge for up to 3 weeks.
  • Add the leftover mashed strawberries to a container and place in the fridge to be used on top of pancakes/waffles/french toast/ice cream, or as an addition to mocktails and drinks.
