Strawberry Simple Syrup Recipe
Description
Strawberry Simple Syrup Recipe relies on equal parts chopped strawberries, granulated sugar, and water gently simmered together. This simple three-ingredient mixture is boiled briefly then reduced to a simmer for 10 minutes to extract the bright, sweet strawberry essence. After cooking, the syrup is cooled and passed through a fine-mesh sieve to remove solids, resulting in a smooth, ruby-colored syrup. Any foam is skimmed off for clarity and clean flavor. The syrup can be used immediately or refrigerated for later use.
The syrup's flavor highlights ripe strawberries with a balanced sweetness, making it versatile for mixing into beverages or topping fruits and desserts. The simmering process softens the berries and infuses their flavor into the syrup without overpowering.
Once prepared, the syrup is best kept in a sealed glass container in the refrigerator to maintain freshness. It stays good for up to a month when properly stored. The strained strawberries remain flavorful and can be enjoyed as a snack or a topping for ice cream or yogurt, reducing waste and adding texture contrast.
Ingredients
- 1 cup strawberries chopped
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 1 cup water
Instructions
- Add the strawberries, sugar, and water to a small pot over medium-high heat. Bring the pot to a boil then reduce the heat and simmer for 10 minutes.
- Remove the pot from the heat and let it cool. Strain it through a fine-mesh sieve then skim off any foam from the top of the syrup.
- Either use the syrup right away or store it in a clean, glass jar in your fridge for up to a month.
Notes
- Don't discard the strained strawberries; they make a tasty topping for ice cream or yogurt.
- Store the syrup in a clean glass jar in the fridge for up to one month for best freshness.
