Ingredients
- 1 lb fresh strawberries, hulled and chopped
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 1/4 cup water
- 2 teaspoons fresh lemon juice
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla paste or vanilla extract
Instructions
- In a medium saucepan, combine the chopped strawberries, granulated sugar, water, and lemon juice. Bring to a boil and then reduce the heat to low. Allow the syrup to simmer for about 10 minutes, stirring occasionally.
- Remove from heat and stir in the vanilla. Blend with a hand blender until smooth. Alternatively, you can pour the syrup into the jar of a blender and blend until smooth.
- If you want to remove the seeds, you can place a fine mesh sieve over a large bowl and pour the syrup in. Use a spoon to press the syrup through to remove all of the seeds. Discard the seeds. This step is optional. I think the syrup is good with and without the seeds so decide what texture you like best.
- Pour the syrup into a jar or container and cool slightly. It will thicken as it cools.

Notes
- Store syrup in the refrigerator for up to one week.
- The sweetness will vary depending on your strawberries. Feel free to add more sugar if you want a sweeter syrup.
