Strawberry Syrup
When the summer months come, I feel like we always have an abundance of strawberries. I love to preserve them by turning them onto syrup. It is the perfect addition to drinks, over pancakes in the morning, or over ice cream on a warm summer night. It will last a month in a jar in the fridge or years in your freezer.
Ingredients:
1 cup Straeberries (fresh or frozen)
1 cup Sugar
1 cup Water
1 teaspoon Vanilla Bean Pastes
In a saucepan, add all ingredients and bring to a boil.
Stir continually until sugar dissolves.
Use a fork to smash the berries down once they have softened.
Once the sauce has thickened, remove from heat and let it cool.
Place syrup in a blender and blend until smooth.
Run the puree through a fine mesh to remove the berry seeds.
Pour into a jar and keep in the fridge for up to a month.
I love to have this on hand to add to drinks, serve over ice cream, or add to pancakes or waffles.
