It's strawberry season - so hopefully I will be canning strawberry jam and other goodies.

Anyone can anything besides jam with strawberries?

How do you make your strawberry syrup?
I was just looking at a recipe for Maple Strawberry Smooch that I might try. It is strawberries, maple syrup, unsweetened apple juice, lemon juice, and pectin. Recommended uses: cake, frozen desserts, fruit salad, hot cereal

Oops. I never answered. These syrups recipes were for pancake syrups. We like them on ice cream.

Strawberry syrup

8 cups fruit
6 cups sugar
2 cups water
2 Tbsp lemon juice

You can strain out the chunks if you want, I take the hand mixer to it a bit. We like some chunks.

Put up 4.5 pints of blueberry syrup. Hubby needs to try it and tell me if he wants more.

Again you can strain if wanted. I use the mixer

Blueberry syrup

8 cups fruit
3 cups sugar
4 cups water
2 Tbsp lemon juice

I actually will probably cut out a cup of the water from the recipe next time to make it thicker.
