Homemade Strawberry Syrup with Honey
Prep Time 15 minutes Cook Time 5 minutes Total Time 20 minutes Servings 18 (1 oz servings), estimate

Ingredients

1 cup water
1/2 cup honey
1/2 cup granulated sugar
1/16 tsp ground cinnamon
16 oz fresh strawberries, hulled and chopped (about 2 1/2 cups)

Instructions

Add water, honey, sugar, and ground cinnamon to a medium saucepan set over high heat. Bring to a boil, stirring occasionally until the sugar dissolves and the mixture is combined.
Once boiling, remove the saucepan from the heat and add the strawberries.
Mash the strawberries well using a potato masher or muddler. Cover the pan and let everything steep (off heat) for one hour.
After steeping, pour the strawberry syrup through a fine sieve, pressing down on the mashed strawberry mixture in the sieve with the back of a spoon to release as much liquid as possible. Store syrup in the refrigerator.

Notes
This recipe yields about 18 ounces of syrup in total, but can easily be halved if you don't need that much.
