homemade fresh strawberry syrup
strawberry syrup
We grow our own strawberries and are always looking for different ways to use them. My husband has been eating an apple type syrup when he goes out for pancakes. My son likes blueberry syrup, so I was somehow led to to make strawberry syrup from all that. We had fresh strawberries I needed to do something with and I didn’t want to turn on the oven.
I used a blender as I wanted to use a lot of dishes either.
You can use a mesh strainer and strain out the seeds. I don’t have one. I can tell you, the strawberry syrup still tastes great.
Some other things you can do with this, is make strawberry lemonade. You can pour this on your ice cream or spread on your toast.
Ingredients:
1 cup strawberries with stems removed
1 teaspoon lemon juice
6 Tablespoons sugar
Instructions:
Mix the strawberries, lemon juice and sugar in a blender or use a handblender to mix together.
Blend until it looks like a smoothie.
Pour into a pan and heat until the sugar is melted.
Stir to keep from burning.
Once it comes to a boil and is foaming, it’s ready.
If desired, skim off any bubbly foam.
Pour into a jar or into a serving container.
Allow to cool slightly before putting on your waffles or pancakes.
Store in the refrigerator.
