Equipment

Ingredients
  

  • 1 pound (454 g) strawberries quartered (about 2 ½ cups)
  • ½ cup (118 ml) water
  • ¼ cup (50 g) granulated sugar
  • 2 to 3 sprigs fresh mint

Instructions
 

  • Combine the strawberries, water, and sugar in a medium saucepan and bring to a simmer over medium heat.
  • Reduce heat to maintain a steady simmer and cook until the strawberries are very soft and beginning to break down, and the sauce is syrupy, 10 to 12 minutes.
  • Place the fresh mint in a medium bowl.
  • Strain the strawberry syrup through a fine mesh sieve over the bowl with the mint, using a silicone spatula to press down gently on the strawberries to extract as much syrup as possible. Discard the cooked berries.
  • Let cool to room temperature. Discard the mint and transfer the syrup to a sealed container. Refrigerate for up to 2 weeks or freeze for up to 6 months.

Notes

  • The ripeness of your berries will determine how quickly they break down. If your berries are a little underripe, you may need to cook them for a few extra minutes.
  • For easy freezer storage, pour the syrup into 2-tablespoon silicone freezer molds (souper cubes) and freeze until solid. Pop them out and store in a sealed plastic bag so they're ready to use whenever you need them.
  • This recipe is suitable for gluten-free, dairy-free, and vegan diets.
