Absolutely amazing but Be prepared it takes like an entire container of strawberries.
Brian Wolfe
Did the same recipe but with pineapple, the ratios and steps were perfect ,I will use this to make all my dessert syrups now

Excellent strawberry syrup recipe! I didn’t NOT strain after cooking as I’m using for ice cream & pancake topper. OR….just eat as is cold! I used 3/4 cup of sugar which was enough sweetness for me!
Paula Ferguson
Made this for some strawberry shortcake and came out perfectly! Very sweet
Christopher Nash
Definitely took longer than 25 minutes. Also, I had to simmer it longer to get it to thicken (about an extra 10 minutes). I also strained the liquid out and was left with a lot of pulp. It made about 3/4 cup of syrup. The good thing is that my kids thought it was good and that the process was cool.
Jacob Santana
I liked the recipe, but I think it would be better if you blended the strawberries in.
Kristen Owen
Was a great Substitute for the strawberry syrup at the store. My son can’t have red 40 and this is a perfect add for his drinks!!
Wendy Moore
No changes at all ! Wife loved it for pancKes
James Harding
An amazing syrup! I don’t have a strainer, so I just kept the strawberries in there, makes for a fuller, more filling topping!
Jacob King
Super easy, very sweet obviously. I only got a cup of syrup (not sure if it’s right). Standard syrup recipe, bookmarked.
Christine Santiago
Very good a bit watery for my taste but that can easily be fixed by adding a small amount of flour about 2 teaspoons give or take.

I MADE THIS! but it does not look like the picture i saw here. instead it looked like red syrup. the instructions did not state that the pulp was to remain behind. i strained the liquid from the strawberry’s and discarded the pulpy stuff and was left with red syrup. the photo looked like strawberry jam.

I made this to use as a syrup, rather than a sauce. Made a double quantity and added a tiny amount of vanilla bean paste before cooking. It was awesome. Add a slurp to Prosecco (or other sparkling wine) to gin and tonic, to cold milk. Freeze into ice cubes to add to all sorts of drinks. Great with a soda stream. Add a dash to yoghurt. I’m planning on gifting some at Christmas, in small decorative glass bottles.

I made this today. It is, of course very sugary. I plan to use it for angel food cake with homemade whipped cream for a Fourth of July dessert. I added corn starch as another reviewer suggested bc it was very watery without it- but I wasn’t sure if that was my fault. This was delicious and I see me making it again for other things! Oh, I didn’t strain it bc I like the chunks of strawberries but if I did strain it I could see it being a good homemade gift to give out for waffles/pancakes!

Had some overripe strawberries to top homemade waffles, and this was super easy to customize for our taste (a little less sugar please) and delicious! Remember that syrup thickens as it cools, and you don’t have to strain the strawberries or if you like it a lil chunky.

I never added the water!!! I crushed the berries added the strawberries, boiled for many mins. Blended 1/2 – 3/4 the sauce and put it together and served warm!!!Deliciousness!!!

I made Rasberry using the same principles. The kids loved it and devoured all of the pancakes! It was so much better than plain maple syrup.
Logan Green
This was so easy to make and tastes great!! I used an immersion blender to blend the berries and it worked great!! I also used half white sugar and half brown sugar as others had suggested.
Debra Johnson
It was delicious but it never thickened, not even a little. I added a squeeze of lime juice to enhance the berry flavor. Maybe less water will do better.
Mary Cohen
Love love love this!! Super easy and delicious!!
Jamie Flores
I made it to add to plain yogurt, so yummy.
