Simple Strawberry Syrup Recipe
Description
Simple Strawberry Syrup starts by combining fresh sliced strawberries with granulated sugar and water in a saucepan. The mixture is brought to a boil over medium-low heat and then simmered for about 10 minutes to extract strawberry juice and dissolve the sugar, creating a sweet base.
After simmering, the mixture is removed from heat and blended briefly in a jar blender until smooth, yielding a vivid red syrup without chunks. This process ensures an even, pourable syrup that retains natural strawberry flavor.
The syrup is then refrigerated, either for about 20 minutes or overnight, which helps it thicken slightly and improves the flavor integration. This versatile syrup can be used as a topping for pancakes, waffles, ice cream, or mixed with beverages.
