It’s strawberry season, and their prices are amazing! I recently paid $0.88 a pound, and pick up a ton for baking, freezing, making jam, and this strawberry syrup recipe.

I even tested a couple of ways to store strawberries, and the best method kept strawberries for nearly three weeks. Check out the post: How to Make Strawberries Last Longer.

I made 4 cups of this strawberry syrup recipe, and it disappeared within a week! We used it as strawberry pancake syrup, made strawberry milk, strawberry lemonade, and strawberry frappes.

Cook’s Note – Strawberry Syrup Recipe:

  • The Vanilla Bean Paste is entirely optional in this recipe. I love the flavor it adds, but I like seeing those little vanilla seeds in my syrup. You can use a good-quality vanilla extract instead of the vanilla bean paste.
  • This syrup will keep in the refrigerator for up to a month, or at room temperature for a week.
  • This recipe makes about 4 cups of syrup. It can easily be halved or doubled!
  • Use this Strawberry Syrup to make my favorite Strawberry Lemonade recipe!

Strawberry Syrup Recipe - it's SO easy, and you need only 4 ingredients! It's perfect for pouring over the top of a big stack of pancakes.

Ingredients

  • 8 cups (1 kilogram) strawberries hulled and sliced in half
  • 3 cups water
  • 2 cups sugar
  • 1 Tablespoon vanilla bean paste or vanilla extract

Instructions

  • In a large, lidded pot add all the ingredients. Over medium-high heat bring the mixture to a boil. Reduce heat to a simmer, cover, and cook for 10 minutes.

  • Place a fine mesh strainer over a medium bowl. Pour in the strawberry mixture, and work the mixture through the strainer. Use a wooden spoon to press the strawberries to release their liquid. Place strawberry solids in a container to use later (perhaps freezer jam).

  • Return the strawberry liquid back to the pot. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat, then reduce to a low boil. Continue to boil, with the lid off, for about 15-20 minutes, or until the mixture thickens to a syrupy consistency.

  • Let the syrup cool to room temperature, about 1-2 hours (it will thicken even more as it cools). Finally, pour the syrup in sterilized jars or bottles.

  6. I love the taste of this syrup, not overly sweet, just right. I ended up allowing it to simmer a bit longer in order for it to simmer off some of the water to thicken slightly. I will make this again, but maybe add a little less water(?) to get a better consistency. Thank you for the recipe.
