Strawberry syrup is the basis for preparing sauces for sweet dishes, as well as drinks. You can cook it yourself, it is enough to know a few recipes, and you will always have at hand a variety of tasty and aromatic additions to various desserts. For example, for pastries, cakes, pancakes.

Strawberry Syrup: Recipe 1

It only takes 2 ingredients to prepare it: 4 kg of strawberries and 2 kg of granulated sugar.

At the initial stage, it is necessary to sort out the berries, remove green leaves, stems and rinse. Pour the prepared strawberries with sugar and mix gently. Set the berries aside for a while so that they candy and release the juice. This will take approximately one day.

The next day, strain the resulting juice through a sieve. And the berries can be eaten or frozen for the winter.

Strawberry syrup must be boiled over medium heat, bring to a boil and continue to boil for about a quarter of an hour. After that, the resulting composition must be poured into banks,screw on the lids tightly and cover with a blanket. The syrup should be kept warm for a couple of days. After that, it will be ready for use. When it comes to storage, it's best to keep the jars out of direct sunlight, preferably in the refrigerator.

Another recipe

How to prepare strawberry syrup, which will later come in handy as a topping? To do this, rinse 1 kg of fresh berries and cut them in half. Then mix the berries in a saucepan with 170 g of sugar and 10 g of vanilla. Put the resulting composition on the stove and, stirring occasionally, cook over medium heat. At first, the berry mass will sizzle, then the juice will begin to flow. Further mixing should be continued with a wooden spoon. The sauce will cook for 15-20 minutes, during which time it should thicken.

Remove the saucepan from the heat and take the blender. Pour about 1/3 of the resulting syrup into a separate bowl and beat until a puree is formed. Pour the resulting mixture back into the saucepan and put the berry mixture in the refrigerator.

This strawberry topping recipe is the perfect accompaniment to classic cheesecake or ice cream. The main thing is to serve it chilled.

For impregnation of biscuit cakes

• 300 grams of strawberries;
• 50 grams of granulated sugar;
• 300 ml pure water;
• 1a tablespoon of cognac.

Juice must be squeezed out of the berries. Next, we proceed to the preparation of syrup. To do this, mix sugar with water, add strawberry cake to them. The resulting mixture should be boiled over low heat for at least 5 minutes. After that, we filter the syrup and mix it with pre-prepared strawberry juice. Put it back on the stove and bring the mixture to a boil. It takes about three minutes to cook the composition. After the set time has elapsed, filter the Strawberry syrup again and let it cool. Cognac should be poured into the chilled mass.
