Homemade Strawberry Syrup 2 ingredients!
There are no complicated ingredients in this easy recipe. I’m all about doing things the easy way and this is definitely one of them!
What you’ll love about this recipe:
Ingredients:
- 2 cups Strawberries (remove stem)
- 1/4 cup Sugar
- 1/2 cups Water ~ I don’t count this as an ingredient
Directions:
You can either blend your Strawberries in a blender, such as I did in my Ninja Blender or crush with a potato masher….or anything your want. You can also just cut up really small and the fruit will become mushy for you to smash when cooking. Then put into a pan with Sugar.
Boil for about 3-5 min. and that is it. It’s delicious! Pour over your pancakes, waffles, ice cream and crepes!
Tips
- For a thick sauce, we don’t strain the pulp out. It’s good for you!
- You can double, triple etc. this recipe and it will still be great!
- You can make a thinner syrup simply by adding a little more water a little at a time, until it is the consistency you want.
- You can also use Frozen Strawberries, you don’t have to cut them up first. Just boil them down with the water and sugar
How to Store Homemade Strawberry Syrup
There are a couple of ways to store your yummy Strawberry Syrup. Here’s the best way to keep your syrup fresh!
Cool Your Fresh Strawberry Syrup First
After making your syrup, let it cool down completely before pouring it into a container. If you stick it in while it’s still hot, it can cause condensation—and nobody wants watered-down syrup!
Choosing the Right Container
I like to use a glass mason jar or any container with a tight-fitting lid. If I know I won’t use it up right away, I go ahead and sterilize the jar first, just to be safe in the dishwasher.
Pop It in the Fridge
Once it’s cooled and sealed up, keep your syrup in the refrigerator. It’ll stay fresh for about 2 to 3 weeks. I always label it with the date I made it.
Freeze for Long-Term Storage
If you’ve made a big batch, you can totally freeze it. Just be sure to use a freezer-safe container and leave a little room at the top (syrup expands when it freezes!). It’ll last about 3 to 4 months. When you’re ready to use it, thaw it overnight in the fridge.
One More Bonus Tip: Add a Little Lemon Juice
A tablespoon of lemon juice can help extend the shelf life and preserve the bright color of your syrup

Enjoy!!
If the strawberries are wetter than I realized before adding water, I add a bit of powdered pectic to thicken it up. It doesn’t compromise taste but might cause you need a little more sugar for sweetness. I cannot wait for strawberry season to get here!
I just bought a pint of strawberries and although we love them, we never seem to finish them. I was planning on making strawberry shortcake but I like your idea better. Maybe still strawverry shortcake but with syrup instead. Thanks for sharing on Merry Monday. Pinning.
