Homemade strawberry syrup, stored in a glass jar, will last up to 1 month in the refrigerator. If you want to keep it longer, you can process it in canning jars in a water bath; the process time is 15 minutes. Kept in a cool, dark place, canned syrup will last up to a year.

If the syrup doesn't thicken to your liking, mix 2 teaspoons of cornstarch with ¼ cup water and stir it into the syrup and simmer another 5 minutes or so until thickened.

Does strawberry simple syrup need to be refrigerated? Yes! Because this strawberry syrup is not cooked or pasteurized, the fresh syrup MUST be refrigerated.

The primary factor that will impact the shelf life of your syrup is how it is stored.

Like ketchup, we tend to refrigerate open bottles of syrup to keep them fresh but it's unnecessary. Because of the moisture content of syrup, it is immune to the bacteria growth.

A traditional syrup has a 1-to-1 ratio and will last for about a month with basic refrigeration. However, if you make a rich syrup by increasing the sugar to water ratio to 2-to-1, you can increase this time frame significantly. It can be expected to last for about six months in the fridge.

Pour the syrup into a saucepan, then turn the burner on low. Bring the sauce to a low simmer and let it sit for about 10 minutes, stirring occasionally so it doesn't burn. Leave the lid off so that some of the liquid can evaporate, which is what will cause the syrup to thicken.

Jam is made from mashed fruit. Jelly is made from just the juice of the fruit. Sauce is made from mashed fruit but uses less pectin than jam and is less jelled. Syrup is made from either mashed fruit or just the juice of the fruit, but uses even less pectin than sauce so it is slightly jelled and pourable.

Refrigerating simple syrup extends its shelf life and slows the future growth of bacteria. You can keep it at room temperature, but it will go bad much faster. If you plan use up it up within a few days, it can be stored at room temperature. Otherwise I highly recommend storing it in the fridge or freezer.

Converting Pounds to Cups

If you are going to the store and strawberries are only sold in 1-pound containers of whole strawberries, you need a few simple equivalents to figure out how many containers you need to buy. One pound of whole strawberries equals: 2 3/4 cups sliced strawberries. 3 3/4 cups whole strawberries.

Scoop the jam into a pot over low heat and add in 4-5 tablespoons of water. Whisk and let jam heat up. You'll start to see the jam become less thick and turn into a syrup consistency. At this point I add a tablespoon of water till I get the consistency I want!
