Strawberry Syrup


If you've got overly ripe strawberries and are trying to figure out how to use them, here is an option.

Ingredients:
2 pounds strawberries, hulled & quartered
1 quart (4 cups) water
2 cups sugar

Add strawberries to large pot. Cover with water. Bring to a boil and then simmer for fifteen minutes, stirring occasionally. You'll notice the color leaving your berries.

Strain the liquid using a fine mesh strainer and return to pot. Stir in sugar and bring to a boil. Stirring occasionally. Remove from heat. Cool. Store in fridge for a few weeks

You can also can the syrup for longer storage.

I add this to various meals and recipes, even lemonade. Or you can return it to the stove and allow it to simmer and thicken for pancakes or waffles.
