Ingredients
- 2 cups (325g) strawberries, hulled and chopped
- 1 cup (200g) granulated white sugar
- ¾ cup (175ml) water
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions
- Add all ingredients to a pot. Stir it together, bring to the boil, then reduce the heat and simmer for 10 minutes, until the strawberries break down.
- Place a fine mesh strainer over a bowl or jug and pour in the mixture. Press the strawberries into the strainer to extract as much strawberry syrup as possible.
- Allow the mixture to cool, then pour into a jar or bottle and keep in the fridge for up to 2 weeks.
Notes
- Make sure the syrup is cooled enough before adding it into containers. The hot syrup will burn if it splashes.
- This recipe works best for strawberries that are ripe and overripe. An underripe berry does not produce enough natural strawberry flavor or sweetness.
- You can use frozen strawberries in this recipe, just make sure they are thawed completely before adding to the pot.
- Make sure the jar or containers you use to store strawberry syrup are fully sanitized.
- Add your favorite berries to the mix such as blueberries, blackberries, or raspberries.
- Add a hint of lemon extract instead of vanilla extract for a bright strawberry flavor.
- Steep the syrup with fresh basil for a strawberry basil syrup that’s great for cocktails or to add to sparkling water.
- Add a pinch of cinnamon or dried ginger to warm up the fruity flavor.
- Storing: Homemade strawberry syrup can be stored in a sanitized glass jar or bottle in the fridge for up to 2 weeks.
