@aprilsunrisefarm: Strawberry Syrup Recipe Ingredients: - 6 cups halved strawberries - 1 cup granulated sugar - 1 cup honey - 1 teaspoon lemon juice - 2 cups water (adjust for desired consistency Instructions: Prepare the Strawberries - Wash and hull the strawberries thoroughly. It’s important to remove any dirt and stems. - Halve the strawberries and set them aside Cook the Strawberries: - In a large saucepan, combine 6 cups of halved strawberries with 1 cup of granulated sugar and 1 cup of honey. Mix well to coat the strawberries evenly. - Add 1 teaspoon of lemon juice to the mixture. The lemon juice helps to preserve the color and enhances the flavor. - Bring the mixture to a gentle boil over medium heat, stirring occasionally Simmering: - Allow the mixture to simmer for 20 minutes. This helps break down the strawberries and infuse the flavors. - Use a potato masher to mash the strawberries to your desired consistency Adjust Consistency: - Stir in 2 cups of water. If you prefer a runnier syrup, you can add more water gradually until you reach the desired consistency. - Bring the mixture to a hard boil and let it boil for an additional 15 minutes. Stir occasionally to prevent sticking Canning the Syrup (optional) - While the syrup is boiling, prepare your canning materials. Wash and sanitize mason jars, lids, and rings. This step is crucial to avoid contamination. - Carefully fill the hot mason jars with the syrup, leaving about 1/4 inch of headspace at the top. - Wipe the rims of the jars clean to ensure a good seal. Place the lids and rings on the jars securely Water Bath Canning: - Process the filled jars in a boiling water bath for 20 minutes. Make sure the jars are fully submerged and covered by at least an inch of water. - Remove the jars carefully and let them sit undisturbed on the countertop for 24 hours. This helps ensure they seal properly Tips for New Canners: - Always use new lids for sealing jars to ensure a proper seal. - Keep a close eye on the syrup as it boils to prevent overflow or burning. - Label the jars with the date for future reference Enjoy your homemade strawberry syrup! #aprilsunrisefarm #EasyRecipe #strawberry #strawberrysyrup #canning
