Looking for the perfect breakfast treat? This strawberry syrup recipe will be the perfect fruity topping for your waffles or pancakes.

One year when I was a teenager, I got the crazy idea to plant 200 hundred strawberry plants.

I know, not your usual teenaged antics, but we lived on a small farm right in the middle of a small amish community, so it was really pretty normal behavior for the second oldest of 8 kids believe it or not.

That year, I diligently picked every blossom off my little plants, did an ungodly amount of weeding, and the next spring, I was rewarded with gallons and gallons of strawberries to pick and, since we didn’t have a freezer, can.

Little did I know, that was the start of a “thing” in our family.

We didn’t really know what to do with canned strawberries, so those dozens of jars just sat on the shelf for a very long time until one day, mom got the idea to develop a strawberry syrup recipe with them.

It turned out to be the best idea ever. I don’t think I ever heard of putting anything but maple syrup on pancakes before that, which, looking back, is a little funny.

To this day, whenever I see strawberry syrup, I think back to those strawberry plants, my mom’s creativity, and how much my dad still loves strawberry syrup on pancakes and waffles.

One of my favorite post-run indulgences today is gluten-free Belgian waffles, and homemade strawberry syrup. The perfect balance of tangy-sweet, and yeasty. So good!

Today, I usually freeze strawberries because it’s obviously much more versatile not to mention easier, and we use a lot of them in healthy smoothie recipes. But making this strawberry syrup recipe works just as well with fresh or frozen berries as it does with canned strawberries.
