Strawberry Syrup for Summer | The Naptime Chef: "Strawberry Syrup"
adapted from Food in Jars, makes 4 half-pint jars
Ingredients
715 g strawberries, hulled and chopped
2cups -400 g granulated sugar
Instructions:
1. Place the strawberries in large saucepan and add 3 cups of water. Bring the liquid to a boil and let it simmer for about 15 minutes, or until the strawberries are soft and leached of nearly all their color.
2. Place a fine mesh strainer over a large bowl and drain the strawberries for at least 10 minutes. Do not disturb them while they drain or push down on them. Just let the liquid drain naturally. Discard the solids once the liquid is all drained.
3. Return the strawberry juice to the saucepan and add the sugar. Bring to a boil for about 2 minutes and skim any foam that forms on top. Then remove the mixture from the heat and allow to cool slightly.
4. Set out four half-pint jars with sterilized lids and divide the syrup evenly amongst each jar, leaving ½-inch of headspace at the top. Process the jars in a hot water bath for at least 10 minutes.
Notes
Strawberry syrup can be used for so many things!
Whisk in some cornstarch and drizzle it over pancakes.
Drizzle it over warm cake or cupcakes that have been speared with toothpicks.
Make strawberry whipped cream, add it to champagne, or make strawberry lemonade!
