Ingredients
- 2 pints strawberries (ripe!)
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar (Note: this is not overly sweet - if you like SWEET, add more)
- 3 ounces water
- 1/4 teaspoon almond extract
- 1/4 teaspoon orange bitters (Fee Brothers, see instruction below)
- NOTE: use 3 dashes of orange bitters, NOT 1/4 tsp.
How to Make
-
Step 1: Wash and trim the strawberries, then cut into 1/4 inch rounds, letting them fall into a heavy-bottomed saucepan.
-
Step 2: Add the sugar and the water, then bring to a boil. Reduce heat and bring to a fast simmer, stirring occasionally, until the strawberries are soft and the liquid looks syrupy. About 8-10 minutes.
-
Step 3: Add the almond extract and the orange bitters. Stir well.
-
Step 4: Put in a glass jar and let cool. Keep refrigerated.
