i enjoyed this, it was simple and very easy to make. the only changes i made were i put my strawberries in the blender rather than mashing them & i boiled everything until it was at the consistancy i wanted... i didnt time it. this recipe would also be good with other fruits you have on hand... i plan on trying it with peaches as well as pineapple!

Does life really get any easier or more yummy than this? I believe the sugar is accurate for things like pancakes and waffles as is the thickness...but if you're looking for a topping for ice cream, cake, or other desserts~ try less sugar and add 1/4 tsp cornstarch in the last minutes of cooking for dessert like thickness! Like I said, life just doesn't get any better than this!

Made 1/2 a recipe and it was more than enough for one person. Also added some cornstarch at the end becasue it was just too runny. Not bad, would probably make it again. Was really easy.

I made this syrup with raspberries instead of the strawberries. It turned out very good. I also only added half the sugar. I put them over whole wheat pancakes and thought it was sweet enough.

Perfect ratio!! Not too sweet and not too tart. You can increase or decrease this recipe easily. Tastes great over angel food caked served with fresh whipped cream.

Nice, quick and basic. We used it over Mom's Best Waffles and everyone seemed to enjoy it. We have some leftover, and puttin it on ice cream sounds like a good idea. Thanks for the recipe!

I made this syrup to go on top of blueberry pancakes (I used the recipe "Todd's Famous Blueberry Pancakes" which is also on this site). This syrup was yummy! I did add extra strawberries though.

This was a very good strawberry syrup. I didn't add the full amount of sugar, as reccomended in other reviews, and it was plenty sweet. I did cook it a little longer to thicken slightly. Once it begins to cool it will thicken considerably more. Delicious! We enjoyed this on banana pancakes for a tooty-fruity delight!

This was easy and came out perfect for pancakes! I used a 10 oz bag of frozen organic strawberries, 3/4 c water, and 3/4 c sugar.

Delicious and easy recipe. I took the advice of some reviewers and cut the sugar to half a cup and also saved aside 1/4 cup of water and added 1 teaspoon of cornstarch which I added during the last minute. I did find it a little thin still, but that was okay because we let it cook until we needed it after supper. Definitely would have been too sweet with all the sugar

Very simple to make and freezes wonderfully. I used this on strawberry shortcake and it was dreamy! Also combined it with sliced bananas to make a tasty kid-friendly treat.

This was great. I used only about a 1/4 cup of sugar and it was still very sweet. I also added the corn starch to help thicken it per a previous post. Great alternative to maple syrup - which is gastly expensive now! (the real stuff, that is).

5 stars! The sugar/fruit ratio is perfect for SYRUP. Those of you complaining about it and using it for a cake or ice cream topping are forgetting something--you're using it on something already sweetened. This is pancake syrup, and as such, the ratio is perfect! Definitely halve the sugar if you're using this to top something that's already sweet, but for my pancakes, nothing yet has beaten this recipe! P.S.--This works for other fruits too, such as berries (any), cherries, peaches, etc!

I made a few modifications but got the idea here. I used 1/2 cup of raw honey, 1 cup of water, and a quart sized container of strawberries. I pureed the strawberries in a food processor before adding it to the boiling honey and water. I cooked it for about 20 minutes but it was too thin. I then mixed 1 T. of rice flour (you could use cornstarch) in 1 T. of water and added it slowly to the boiling mixture and let it cook about 10 more minutes. It was absolutely delicious on the pancakes.

Yum! I used an extra half cup of water and only 1/2 cup sugar. I also used extra strawberries. This was fabulous over challah French toast and my grandparents and fiancee LOVED it. I think reducing the sugar and using extra strawberries really brought out the flavor of the berries and wasn't too overpowering. It was also incredibly light, and not thick and gummy like strawberry topping you get at restaurants. A real keeper!

I really liked this recipe. I changed it a little, i did 2 cups of frozen strawberries, and puree 3/4 of them and boiled them with the sugar and water. Then added the whole strawberries once it had boiled for a minute. I had to add about 1 tsp of cornstarch to get it to thicken like i like syrup to be. Over all i loved it!! Hit the spot!
