*For chunkier syrup, dice strawberries larger (as in pictures) OR for smoother syrup, dice strawberries smaller. **You can customize the thickness/consistency of your Strawberry Syrup by simmering longer for thicker Syrup/Sauce or for thinner Syrup, simmer less time or stir in water at the end of thickening.
