calling all cooks..Strawberry syrup...

[Guest guest]

My kids are addicted to strawberry milk, but I'd like to make my own

strawberry syrup for them to use in milk instead of the quik stuff.. I have

the recipe, but does anyone know, or have an idea, how long it'll keep in the

fridge? Or does anyone have any better ideas?

The recipe I have is:

Fresh Strawberry Syrup

Ingredients:

1 pint strawberries (hulled, halved, mashed slightly*)

1 cup sugar

3/4 cup light corn syrup

In 3-quart saucepan, place strawberries. Cook over medium heat, stirring

occasionally until strawberries come to a full boil (6-8 mins). Line

strainer with cheesecloth and place over a large bowl. Pour hot strawberries

into strainer, mashing with back of spoon to extract juice. Discard the pulp.

Return juice to pan. Add sugar and corn syrup. Cook over medium heat until

mixture comes to full boil (9-10 mins). Boil for 1 minute. With a large

metal spoon, skim the foam from the top. Store refrigerated. Serve over

pancakes, waffles, or desserts.

1 16 oz bag of frozen strawberries can be substituted for 1 pint

strawberries, increase the cooking time for the strawberries to 15 mins.
