Equipment

  • Medium Saucepan
  • Fine Mesh Strainer

Ingredients
  

  • 1 Cup Water
  • 1 Cup Sugar
  • 1 1/2 Cups Strawberries, hulled and quartered

Instructions
 

Method 1: Quick & Bold Flavor

  • Combine the water and sugar in a medium saucepan. Stir and bring to a boil over medium-high heat until the sugar dissolves.
  • Add the strawberries and bring back to a gentle boil, then drop it down to a simmer.
  • Cook for about 15 minutes until the strawberries soften and the liquid turns deep red.
  • Remove from heat and let it cool.
  • Strain through a fine mesh strainer without pressing on the berries.
  • Transfer to a clean jar. Store in the fridge for up to 2 weeks or freeze for several months.

Method 2: Simmer & Steep for Extra Depth

  • Wash and hull the strawberries, then slice them in half (leave smaller ones whole).
  • Combine water and sugar in a medium saucepan. Stir until the sugar starts to dissolve.
  • Bring to a boil, then reduce heat and add strawberries.
  • Simmer for 10 minutes.
  • Remove from heat and let the strawberries steep in the hot syrup for 15 minutes (test your syrup to make sure it get to the flavor you like. You may need a little more steeping time).
  • Strain through a fine mesh strainer without pressing the fruit.
  • Let it cool to room temperature, then transfer to a clean glass jar. Refrigerate up to 2 weeks or freeze up to 3 months.
