15 MINUTE STRAWBERRY SYRUP RECIPE

Steps:

• Start with three cups of ripe strawberries. Chop off the tops, being very careful not to allow any stems, leaves, or other debris to stick to the fruit.
• Give the berries a very good rinse, and pop them in the small pot with the sugar, water, and lemon juice to start a simple syrup. Sliced strawberries will work well, too.
• Turn on the heat to medium-high and mash the berries as they start to cook.
• Once it reaches a boil, let the syrup boil for five to six minutes.
• While it's boiling, make the slurry of cornstarch and water.
• After the syrup has boiled for five to six minutes and the sugar melts/dissolves, add the cornstarch mix and let it boil another minute.
• The syrup should thicken up by this point. If it has not, let it boil a few more minutes.
• If you think it's still not thick enough, add more slurry and repeat the process. Remember, it doesn't need to be totally thick at this point, it will continue to thicken as it cools.
• You should let it cool to room temperature before serving.
