Fresh Strawberry Syrup

By Texaschef11

Ingredients

• 3 quarts fresh strawberries, washed and capped
• 1/2 cup sugar
• 1/4 cup light corn syrup

Preparation

Step 1

Slice the strawberries. Mash the berries in a shallow pan, using a potato masher or fork. Pour the berries through a wire-mesh strainer, lined with 2 layers of cheesecloth, into a bowl. Press berry pulp with the back of a spoon to squeeze out 2 cups of juice. Discard pulp.

Combine strawberry juice, sugar and corn syrup in a medium saucepan. Bring to a boil, reduce heat, and simmer, uncovered, for 20 minutes. Stir frequently. Remove from heat and skim off foam. Let cool. Cover and store in refrigerator.
