Strawberry Syrup
Jazz up your pancakes and waffles with this delectable homemade syrup.
Ingredients
- 4 cups ripe strawberries, rinsed and hulled
- 1 3/4 cups water
- 2 tsp finely grated lemon zest
- 1 1/4 cups granulated sugar
Directions
- Crush the berries in a heavy saucepan. Add one cup of water and the lemon zest. Bring mixture to boil then reduce heat to a simmer for five minutes. Skim off any foam that forms.
- After five minutes of simmering, set the mixture aside to cool.
- Meanwhile, place the sugar and the remaining 3/4 cup of water in a small, heavy saucepan. Bring to a boil and cook until the syrup reaches 260°F on a candy thermometer; set aside.
- Strain the cooled strawberry mixture through cheesecloth, squeezing to separate the majority of the seeds.
- Pour the strained strawberries into a heavy saucepan with the sugar syrup. Bring to a boil and cook for eight minutes.
- Remove from heat and pour into two, sterilized half-pint jars, leaving 1/4 inch of head space. Process in a boiling water bath for ten minutes.
