In just 20 minutes, you can have fresh homemade strawberry syrup to top your pancakes or your ice cream!
We eat breakfast foods for dinner at our house quite often. Dan works until late, so on the last night when he’s at work I don’t have to worry about what he’s taking for lunch the following day, so I’ll make some breakfast food.
We love switching up the breakfast foods. Sometimes we have Breakfast Casserole Bites, sometimes waffles, sometimes bacon and scrambled eggs. But pancakes end up in there quite a bit, so I can make extras and throw them in the freezer for us to use for quick breakfasts.
Because we eat a lot of pancakes, I like to switch things up so we don’t get bored with them. One of my favorite ways to eat pancakes is with chocolate chips in the pancakes, and peanut butter and syrup on top. Yum. But I also love homemade fruit syrups on my pancakes, like this strawberry syrup.
Homemade strawberry syrup is full of bold strawberry flavor. When you cook the strawberries, they tend to get a stronger flavor, and they taste amazing.
This strawberry syrup recipe makes enough for having syrup on your meal. If you want to make extra to can or store in the refrigerator for a couple weeks, you’ll want to double or triple this recipe.
Strawberry syrup isn’t just for pancakes, either. It’s delicious over ice cream or angel food cake, as a topping for french toast or inside crepes, or even stirred into a mixed drink.
How would you enjoy this strawberry syrup?

This looks so good and there are so many different recipes to use this with! I need to make this syrup soon!
What about sugar free? Have you or someone you know made it with sugar free options or coconut sugar?
Julie, I haven’t tried making it sugar-free, so I’m not sure if it would work. If you try it, I’d love it if you stopped back and let us know! Good Luck!
This recipe is so festive for Valentine’s Day! Pinned and shared on my Facebook page! I found your blog through the Pretty Pintastic link up and followed you on Pinterest and Facebook and would love for you to follow me!
Blessings!
That syrup looks good. Homemade are always the best!
So true! We don’t ever buy storebought jams or syrups anymore, because they just aren’t that good after having homemade for so long!
I have a basket full of strawberries in my fridge now! Will have to try this!
I hope you enjoy it, Whitney! My family is begging me to make more!
This looks amazing and so fruity! Thanks for the recipe 🙂
I can almost taste the fresh, delicious strawberries now! This syrup looks wonderful.
This is such a fun idea! I love strawberries!
