Notes

For the strawberry syrup you'll need:
16 oz. strawberries
1 cup granulated sugar
Combine the ingredients in a 2 ½ quart saucepan and bring the mixture to a rolling boil.  Allow it to boil for 3 minutes, remove from the heat, and strain the syrup with a mesh strainer over a large bowl.  Check out the Strawberry Simple Syrup recipe post for more details and for other ways you can use the syrup.
