Instructions (7 steps)

01In a medium saucepan, over medium heat combine strawberries, water and the sugar.
02Use a wooden spoon to stir and smash the berries with the sugar.
03Raise the heat to bring the berries and sugar to a boil and the sugar is dissolved.
04Simmer for 20 minutes and the syrup is a deep strawberry red color, stirring occasionally.
05Remove from the heat and strain the syrup through a fine mesh strainer.
06Resist the urge to press the berries to squeeze out the last few drops of syrup. Squeezing the berries will make the syrup cloudy.
07Cool completely and store in a closed container, storing in the refrigerator.
