How to Make Homemade Strawberry Syrup
I bet you never knew how easy it was to make homemade strawberry syrup. You can make it in under 30 minutes and it is super simple. See how now!
Ingredients
- 1 16oz carton Strawberries
- 1/2 cup Sugar
- 1 Tablespoon Lemon Juice
- 1 Teaspoon Vanilla
Instructions
-
First wash all the strawberries. Then pat them dry.
-
Next cut them in to small pieces and place in a pan over medium to low heat to cook for a few minutes. If you want you can add a 1/2 cup of water here. If you do, you can let the strawberries cook a little longer to make the syrup thicker.
-
After the strawberries have cooked for a few minutes add the sugar and lemon juice and stir. Keep cooking until the desired thickness. This took me about 10 minutes for a deep red and thick syrup.
-
After you take the syrup off the heat add vanilla for another powerful level of flavor to the syrup.
Recipe Notes
Serve with homemade pancakes, strawberry shortcake, or add a couple of table spoons to milk for strawberry milk.
