Super simple, quick and very tasty! I poured it over some waffles and couldn't ge enough of it! I would use it on pancakes, biscuits or pound cake too. I want to try this same recipe with blueberries, apples and other fruit I always seem to have on hand.

Really yummy, the nutmeg and cinnamon were wonderful with the fresh berries. The two pints sliced strawberries yield a product with plenty of delicious strawberry-spiced syrup, in the future I'll probably use three pints with that amount of syrup for a thicker topping as is my preference. Thanks very much for sharing.

WOW!!! I have strawberries (fresh picked) from my garden and didn't have a clue as to what to do with so many strawberries!! FANTASTIC recipe!!!...I didn't use the measurements exactly (I used only 1/4 cup of sugar; 1 tblspn. vanilla; dash of cinnamon) and added a little red wine (I had sitting on my counter) and POW!!!! DELICIOSO!!! Can't wait till hubby comes home to try it

I've made this several times now - the first time I used it as pancake syrup. I thawed frozen whole strawberries and mashed them with the sugar/water/spice syrup. I made it the same way the second time, except used it as a dessert sauce over purchased pound cake with a spoonful of vanilla yogurt on top.

Pretty good. I can understand how the flavor of the nutmeg can be off putting to some. As far as I know, I followed the recipe, only I substituted Splenda for Baking for sugar. When I first tried the syrup, it was strong, but I let it cool off and let the strawberries marinate, and it was fine. Good flavor. I plan to pour the berries over cheesecake tomorrow. Tonight I'm eating it with a bit of whipped cream - a nice compliment.

I didn't really care for this recipe ... SO sweet! WAY sweet! The spices were fine and all that, but I think at least half the sugar would have been fine ... possibly more than half! Maybe with some tweaking it would be a 5-star for us, but I doubt I'll try it again.

This was simply fantastic. We didn't expect it to rival our gorgonzola crusted filet mignon for best dish of the night, but it did.

Excellent taste. I made a half batch and used only 1/3 cup sugar. A little tricky if you've never made syrup before but worth the learning.

This was different. Didn't care for it to much. Something in it was too much but, couldn't figure out what. It wasn't horrible but, will not be making this again. Sorry

Quick and easy to prepare. I will cut back on the sugar as we thought it was very sweet using fresh picked berries. Served with french vanilla ice cream and crushed graham crackers.

This was sooooo AWESOME. Made it for my husband's birthday (he insisted on having NO cake... but said this was better than anything he could've asked for!). Served over vanilla bean ice cream and strawberries, as mentioned by previous reviewer. LOVED IT!!! Can't wait to make it again!!

Not too bad. I had only one pint strawberries so cut the recipe in 1/2. I also only used 1/3 cup sugar and it turned out nicely. I ate mine over chocolate and vanilla ice cream and my roommate ate his over some short bread!

Not sure I made this correctly. This is a bit outside of my normal cooking--not a big syrup fan, so I had a bit of trouble. I may have overcooked it, because it was a bit grainy. It was good with ice cream, and it helped rescue some strawberries, but I'd have to try it again to be sure I'm doing it right. I do like the spices in it--regular syrup just doesn't do it for me.

Maybe I shouldn't have given this 3 stars, because I think it was mostly my fault I didn't like it. I tried to follow the recipe but messed up. First, I addded the vanilla before boiling (not sure if that makes a difference). Then I guess I boiled it too long or something, because it got super sticky, like molasses candy or something, and almost glued my mouth shut. Pretty bad. If it was actually a sryup it would have been better, but I still wouldn't try again, because I don't think that strawberries need that much sweetness - it kind of overpowers the berries. Maybe if I had bad quality strawberries I'd try it.
