Ingredients
3 cups hulled, quartered strawberries (1 pound)
1/4 cup sugar
Preparation
Stir together strawberries and sugar in a double boiler or a heatproof bowl set over a pan of simmering water. Cook, stirring occasionally, until sugar dissolves and berries release their juices, 15 to 20 minutes. Strain syrup (do not press down on berries); discard solids. Refrigerate until cool.
