    Strawberry syrup is such a versatile sauce. It's great for waffles, ice cream, french toast, strawberry milk, or shaved ice. I use my strawberry syrup to top cups of shaved ice for the ultimate summer treat.

    I developed this recipe over Memorial Day Weekend when it was like 95 degrees outside. I wanted something cooling and sweet. A cookie just wasn't going to do it!

    If you like this homemade strawberry syrup, you'll love my strawberry galette recipe. Find that HERE. I have a ton of strawberry recipes to take advantage of strawberry season.

    Store the syrup in a glass jar in the refrigerator for up to one week.

    Enjoy!

    Hint: Use fresh strawberries in the summer for extra delicious syrup. In the winter, use frozen strawberries.

    FAQ

    Can I skip the fresh lemon juice?

    You can! Or you can add the same amount of different citruses like lime or orange juice.

    Do I have to use ripe strawberries?

    You don't have to use fresh ripe strawberries. Instead, use frozen strawberries.

    Can I make this with another berry?

    You can substitute the strawberries with any fresh or frozen berries.

    Substitutions

    • Strawberries - instead of strawberries, you can use any berry.
    • Lemon juice - replace the lemon juice with orange or lime juice instead.

    Variations

    • Almond - add almond extract instead of vanilla extract.

    Equipment

    • Mesh sieve
    • Large bowl
    • Medium saucepan
    • Spatula

    Storage

    Store the strawberry syrup in airtight containers in the refrigerator for up to one week.

    Top tip

    Add this to milk to make homemade strawberry milk.
