Strawberry Syrup Canning Recipes

HOMEMADE STRAWBERRY SYRUP

Steps:

• Rinse and remove the tops of the berries.
• Cut berries in quarters (or eighths for big ones) and add them to a large saucepan.
• Cook berries over medium heat and gently mush them with a wooden spoon or spatula as they heat up.
• Add in the sugar and lemon juice and continue to cook, stirring often until the syrup comes to a boil.
• Cook at a boil for two minutes, stirring the whole time. You may need to lower the heat a bit to keep the sauce from boiling over.
• Remove the pot from the heat and allow the syrup to cool before storing. It will thicken as it cools.
• Using a metal spoon, skim foam from the top of the sauce.

HOW TO MAKE CANNED STRAWBERRY SYRUP

Steps:

• 1. Grab some beautiful fresh strawberries. I found these at Sprouts this week for 88 cents a pound. They were super sweet and juicy. You need 6 pounds. Wash them, then cut the green tops of and cut them in half.
• 2. Place them in a large pot and pour 3 cups of sugar and 1/4 C lemon juice over the top. Stir to combine.
• 3. Turn the heat to medium high (closer to high than to medium) and bring the mixture to a boil, stirring occasionally.
• 4. The sauce will bubble up a lot. Make sure you use a big pan. ???? Keep it at a rolling boil for 25-30 minutes, stirring occasionally until the syrup has reduced by about half.
• 5. Remove from the heat and skim off any foam. Add 1 Tb butter, 1 tsp vanilla and a dash of salt. Stir to combine.
• 6. Pour the syrup into pint or half pint jars. Wipe the rim with wet paper towel, making sure to remove any syrup that might have splashed onto it. This will help the lids seal properly. Add a lid and a ring to each jar. (Make sure you are using new lids. You can recycle the rings, but the lids need to be new.)
• 7. Place the jars in a water bath canner, fill with hot water, cover and bring to a boil. Allow the water to boil hard for 15 minutes. Carefully remove the jars from the canner and allow them to cool on your counter. The lids make a popping sound when they have sealed properly. You can test them by pressing your finger into the center of each lid and pressing. If the lid gives at all it hasn't sealed. If it is firm, then you are good to go. Jars that haven't sealed should be stored in the fridge and eaten within a week or two.
