Ingredients
1-16ouncepackage frozen sliced or whole unsweetened strawberriesthawed
1cupgranulated sugar
1/4cupreal maple syrup
1teaspoonvanilla extract
Instructions
Thaw the strawberries and bring them to room temperature. Place the entire package in a sieve colander and mash the berries with a large spatula or wooden spoon. Strain the juice from the strawberries into a mixing bowl and then pour into 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.
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.
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.
