- 1 lb . fresh strawberries ($2.44*)
- ¾ cup granulated sugar ($0.72)
- ¼ tsp vanilla extract ($0.16)
- ⅛ tsp salt ($0.01)
Steps
Wash and chop the strawberries into ¼-inch pieces.
Add the chopped strawberries and sugar to a saucepot. Stir and cook over medium heat until the strawberries release their liquid and form a syrup in the saucepot.
Let the strawberries simmer in the syrup, stirring occasionally, until they break down and lose their shape and the syrup has thickened to your desired consistency (5-10 minutes). Keep in mind the syrup will thicken more after cooling.
Remove the syrup from the heat and stir in the vanilla extract and salt. Let the syrup cool. Use the syrup as-is, or strain through a wire mesh strainer for a clear, smooth syrup.
