Strawberry-Orange Syrup

I have a yummy recipe for you today. Remember my Fresh Strawberry Syrup recipe? Well, while making waffles the other day I had a craving for the unique flavors of strawberry and orange together. So I came up with Strawberry-Orange Syrup. And oh my . . . it’s so fresh, so sunny, and so easy.

It’s very similar to my Fresh Strawberry Syrup and it’s perfect on whole wheat pancakes, waffles, crepes, and even ice cream! And I have say that I LOVE the ruby-orange color.

Strawberry-Orange Syrup

2 cups of strawberries (about 1/2 of a 16 oz package)

2 oranges

2 TB orange zest

1/2 cup to 1 cup sugar (to taste)

2-4 TB agave nectar (optional)

Cut the tops off your strawberries. Zest the peel of your orange (I use a grater).

Cut off the peel of your oranges and slice it into quarters. You can just peel it by hand, but I like to slice it off with a knife so I don’t have the white pith in the syrup.

Put all the fruit and zest in the blender. Add the sugar and agave syrup a little at a time. You’ll want blend it a little and then test the sweetness. Add more if needed, but don’t over-sweeten it. You can use all granulated sugar, or you can use all agave syrup. I used a little of both until I liked the sweetness of it.
