 Going to local farms and picking fresh produce is one of our favorite family traditions.

We were lucky enough to go strawberry picking at Eckert Farms last weekend.

It was the biggest farm we have ever been to and quite a memorable experience!

We left with a basket full of fresh juicy berries, strawberry cider and pastries from the market, and soaking wet clothes from a popup storm (but smiles on our faces). 

Now for our homemade syrup recipe…

Start with 1lb of fresh strawberries. 

Wash, cut off tops, and slice if you would like. 

Add the berries to a saucepan and pour in water. 

Add the sugar. 

Finally add 1 tbsp of lemon juice. 

Stir well and heat over medium. 

Cook, stirring often, for 20-30 minutes until thickened and syrupy. 

Pour the berry mixture through a strainer. 

You can discard the berries or use them for something else.

You should have a good amount of syrup, about a cup and a half or more.

Serve warm over pancakes, French toast, and desserts. or refrigerate and serve cold stirred into milk, shakes, tea, and coffee.

Bold Roast Coffee Flavored Breakfast Syrup 

Makes 1 ¼ cup

Ingredients

• 1 cup strong brewed Coffee {I used Dunkin Donuts Dunkin’ Dark® coffee }
• 1 cup brown sugar
• ½ vanilla bean split or 1 tsp vanilla extract
• 1 tbsp butter optional

Instructions

• Add freshly brewed coffee, brown sugar, and ½ a split open vanilla bean to a saucepan and heat over medium.
• Whisk until smooth and bring to a boil.
• Reduce heat and simmer for 10 minutes, stirring occasionally.
• Butter adds another layer of richness to this syrup so I like to add 1 tbsp at the end and whisk in until melted.
• If you are using vanilla extract add it with the butter at the end.
• Pour into a jar and serve warm over French toast, pancakes, or waffles.
