When it is strawberry picking season we can’t get enough of these sun kissed, red ripe strawberries. We are sure to pick enough berries to make the strawberry topping, strawberry rhubarb crisp, strawberry jam, and my daughter’s favorite strawberry soup! If you are over 21 you will want to pick enough strawberries to shake up a few strawberry rhubarb margaritas and homemade strawberry vodka.

How long does strawberry simple syrup last?

Strawberry syrup will last for up to a month in a closed container when stored in the refrigerator. While sugar is a preservative it can also help breed bacteria so keeping the syrup chilled in the refrigerator will help keep the syrup fresh.

Can simple syrup be frozen?

Simple syrup can not be frozen. The sugar content is too high so the syrup will not freeze solid. It is better to freeze the strawberries and make the syrup fresh than freeze strawberry simple syrup. 

How do you freeze strawberries?

If you know how to freeze blueberries, just follow those instructions and substitute in strawberries.

How do you make simple syrup thicker?

If the simple syrup is too thin for your liking, bring it back to a boil and allow it to boil for an additional 2 minutes. The more you reduce it, the more it will thicken when it cools.

Can frozen strawberries be used to flavor simple syrup?

Frozen strawberries are the perfect for using to flavor a simple syrup. No need to thaw them, just measure them and add them to the pot as you would fresh strawberries.

What do you use strawberry simple syrup in?

  • Strawberry Rhubarb Margarita
  • Strawberry Paloma
  • Fresh Strawberry Mocktail
  • Citrus Strawberry Mocktail
  • Italian Cream Soda

What other fruit can be added to infuse simple syrup?

Making fruit-flavored simple syrup for cocktails or other beverages can be a lot of fun and showcase your culinary creative side. Some of my favorite fruit-infused simple syrups are rhubarb syrup, blueberry syrup, lemon syrup, lime syrup, black berry syrup, raspberry syrup and don’t miss the floral lilac syrup. 

How do you make homemade strawberry simple syrup?

  1. In a medium saucepan, over medium heat combine strawberries, water and the sugar.
  2. Use a wooden spoon to stir and smash the berries with the sugar.
  3. Raise the heat to bring the berries and sugar to a boil and the sugar is dissolved.
  4. Simmer for 20 minutes and the syrup is a deep strawberry red color, stirring occasionally.
  5. Remove from the heat and strain the syrup through a fine mesh strainer.
  6. Resist the urge to press the berries to squeeze out the last few drops of syrup. Squeezing the berries will make the syrup cloudy.
  7. Cool completely and store in a closed container, storing in the refrigerator.

      Isn’t it 3 ingredients for the strawberry simple syrup? Strawberries, water and sugar? You have the ingredient amounts for the strawberries and water but not sugar..unless I’m missing it :/

      Oh my goodness Meagan!
      You are so right! I switched recipe cards and not all my cards transferred correctly. I thought I caught all the offenders. Thank YOU for pointing it out. I have corrected the card.

      Cheers!
