Why You’ll Love This Recipe

If you find yourself with an abundance of strawberries this Spring, I highly recommend whipping up a batch of this Strawberry Pancake Syrup.

This syrup is an especially great way to use up those over-ripe strawberries that are on the verge of going bad. Thankfully, instead of throwing them out, you can turn them into something delicious.

You definitely want to use ripe strawberries in this recipe, because they make for a much sweeter sauce. Don’t worry, there’s a bit of lemon juice in the recipe to contrast with all that fruity sweetness.

Besides fresh strawberries you only need a few pantry staples to make this syrup–sugar, lemon juice, vanilla and butter.

Not only is this syrup sweet and tasty, it’s also pretty. I just love the beautiful pink color, which makes it perfect for pouring into glass jars and sharing with friends.

Strawberry Pancake Syrup

If you’re planning to make a special breakfast for mom this Mother’s Day, this strawberry syrup is perfect for the occasion.

It’s great on pancakes, waffles, French toast and even ice cream. Honestly, it’s kind of hard not eating it by the spoonful. At least, it’s hard for me!

One of my favorite ways to use this syrup, especially in the summer, is to stir a few spoonfuls into a cold glass of lemonade–instant strawberry lemonade!

This syrup also freezes well, in glass jars, or freezer safe plastic containers. It’s always refreshing to pull some of this strawberry syrup from the freezer when winter rolls around.

Next time you have more strawberries than you can eat, turn them into this beautiful and delicious Strawberry Pancake Syrup. You won’t be disappointed.

Be sure to save this recipe to your favorite Pinterest board for later.
