Okay, so this strawberry syrup is something that happens fairly often around my house. Once you make it and use it a couple of times, you’ll totally be as obsessed with making and having strawberry syrup in your refrigerator as I am. I feel certain.
Simple as can be to make, a container of this strawberry syrup is made about once a week and disappears fairly quickly. We use it in numerous recipes from homemade strawberry milk to milkshakes, to drizzling over baked meringues, pancakes, waffles, and even biscuits.
It’s pretty addictive.
If you are watching your sugar intake, I have used sugar substitutes in place of sugar and had good results. You’ll just want to adjust to your personal taste and based on the substitute that you are using.
So, here’s my strawberry syrup recipe. Just think of all the possibilities!
- 2 cups sliced fresh strawberries
- ½ cup granulated sugar
- ½ cup water
- Add strawberries, granulated sugar, and water to a medium saucepan and bring to a boil over medium-low heat.
- Reduce heat and allow to simmer about 10 minutes.
- Remove from heat and pour into jar of a blender.
- Blend on high speed for 10 seconds or until smooth.
- Pour into a bowl, cover with plastic wrap, and refrigerate until chilled, about 20 minutes or overnight.
Enjoy!

Yum!…or over a slice of pound cake! Double yum!
Oh my goodness, YES!!!
Oh, I bet this IS good on everything! I’m thinking it would be delicious on my Greek yogurt for lunch! It’s so pretty, too!
I use a bit less sugar for the version I use on my Greek yogurt. Or, I use a sugar substitute, like stevia, etc. So, so yummy!
I LOVE when it’s strawberry time! While I love picking my own I don’t mind getting a few quarts from the store. They always smell so sweet….I can’t pass them up! I love the idea of making your own strawberry syrup. It would go perfect in cocktails, over ice cream and of course delicious strawberry milk
MMMMMM! Strawberry season is my husband’s favorite season of all time! And yes, strawberry syrup in a drink is perfection!
Mmmm I love strawberry sauce over ice cream. So addictive.
That’s my son’s favorite, too! Well, that and milkshakes and strawberry milk!
Anything dessert oriented, if the truth be known! 
Yum! I plan on making this to top plain yogurt for my daughter. Here’s to hoping my strawberries are sweet enough to use a bit less sugar.
Yes, you can back off the sugar a bit if the strawberries are really sweet and it tastes wonderful! Hope she loves it!
My husband and I enjoyed it over vanilla ice cream last night;) I only added about a 1/4 of a cup of sucanat and I think I could have used even less. This is going to be in regular rotation around here;)
Will try this for sure! Thanks
Let me know how you like it, Terri!
Thanks for the recipe, Robyn! We just planted 24 more strawberry plants!
I’m late getting new plants in this year! Here’s hoping my old plants do well!
Can’t wait to hear how yours do!
OhhhhI bet this would even be scrumptious over pork chops or chicken!!!
I love this! Homemade strawberry milk is such a comfort food but I love making natural versions. This would be all over my oatmeal.
I want to slather this all over my french toast! Yum!!
So many good ideas for this, I love it!
How long will it last once cooled and put in a jar for storage? A week or two? Thanks! This looks wonderful and its bubbling on my stovetop right now! (Sans sugar)
Hey Jessica,
Mine has only had the opportunity to hang out in the refrigerator about a week. That’s all it lasts around here!
I get so many awesome recipes from your site, Robyn, and this is another winner! Thank you!
