Ingredients

8 ounces hulled strawberries fresh or frozen
½ cup water
1 teaspoon vanilla extract ideally non-alcoholic vanilla
¼ cup honey or pure maple syrup
2 teaspoons lemon juice

Instructions

In a small saucepan, combine 8 ounces hulled strawberries with ½ cup water and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract over medium heat. Bring to a boil then reduce to a simmer. Cook for about 5-7 minutes, until berries begin to soften.
Using a fork, mash the berries until no large chunks remain. Continue to simmer for another 5-10 minutes, until the liquid has thickened.
Lastly, stir in ¼ cup honey and 2 teaspoons lemon juice. Stir until evenly combined. Remove saucepan from heat and set aside to cool.
For a thinner consistency: Using a fine mesh sieve, strain the syrup into a glass bowl or container. Use the fork to continue mashing and stirring the berries to get as much juice out as possible.
For a thicker consistency: If you like a chunkier texture to the syrup, use a blender to blend the strawberries until smooth. Skip straining the syrup and transfer to a sealed container.
Refrigerate the syrup until ready to serve. The syrup should keep for up to 1 week when sealed and refrigerated.
