Prep Time: 10 minutes

Cooking Time: 10 minutes

Ingredient List:

1-16 ounce package frozen sliced or whole unsweetened strawberries (thawed)
1 cup granulated sugar
1/4 cup real maple syrup
1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Kitchen Equipment Needed

colander strainer
medium mixing bowl
1 cup size glass measure
medium saucepan

Instructions:

Step 1: Thaw the strawberries and bring them to room temperature. Place the entire package in a colander and mash the berries with a large spatula or wooden spoon. Strain the juice from the strawberries into a bowl and then a glass measure. You should have about 1 cup of juice.

If you cannot get a cup of strawberry juice, try microwaving the berries for 30 seconds to warm them and allow the juice to come out. (You may also add 1-2 Tablespoons of water to make 1 cup). Place the mashed berries in a separate bowl. They will be added back in later.

Step 2: In a medium saucepan, combine 1 cup strawberry juice and 1 cup granulated sugar. Bring the mixture to a boil for 1 minute, constantly stirring until slightly thickened.

Step 3: Remove from heat and stir in vanilla extract, maple syrup, and the mashed strawberries. Cool for 10-15 minutes and serve over pancakes, waffles, or ice cream.

Makes about 2 cups.
