Strawberry Syrup
This homemade strawberry syrup recipe is made with fresh strawberries, sugar, and a hint of orange zest for a rich, sweet flavor. It's the perfect topping for desserts or enhancing your favorite drinks.
Ingredients
- 400 g fresh strawberries hulled and halved (About 2.5 cups)
- 400 g sugar (About 2 cups)
- 1/4 tsp orange zest
Instructions
- Wash and remove strawberry tops.
- Take a heat-safe glass bowl that can fit snugly over a pot without touching water. To this glass bowl, combine hulled strawberries, sugar, and orange zest. Cover with plastic wrap and set aside.
- Take a saucepan and fill it with water. Bring water to a gentle simmer (not a boil). Upon simmer, place your heat-safe glass bowl that's holding your ingredients on top. Take care to ensure the bottom of the bowl is not touching the water.
- Allow your strawberry sugar mixture to slowly cook in the double boiler until the sugar melts. Once melted, this sweet syrup should be a pretty bright red color. Allow mixture to cool, strain with a fine mesh strainer into an airtight container and enjoy!
