Jenn, this is usually the first thing I do with my strawberries when I bring them home from the store and have been doing it for years! I use them on everything from Belgian Waffles, pancakes, pound cake, ice cream, cheesecake, pudding, egg custard or even served alone in a fluted margarita glass with a dollop of real whipped cream. Simply too many serving suggestions to list!! Delicious!

Delicious! I made this recipe as suggested in the "request a recipe" forum. I used about 3 cups of ripe berries with approx. 1/4 cup of sugar. I made buttermilk pancakes Buttermilk Pancakes and then topped them with these strawberries and some whipped cream and icing sugar. What a great breakfast! Thanks for posting.

This is a great way to prepare strawberries for shortcake. I've always done it this way, and even though it's hard to wait for it to get syrupy, it is so worth it!

I also have always used this recipe (when I was small, I once tried adding water instead of sugar to get the syrup — did not work! We always used these strawberries to top Strawberry Shortcake. These are also called macerated strawberries. Now that I am older, I also serve these with crepes - My husband's favorite breakfast!

This recipe is SOOOOO good. With splenda you still get that sweet taste of sugar with less carbs! I could eat my weight in these!

Yep, the way I do it all the time. I have gone to splenda instead these days, and it works just as well.

I grew up on this recipe! I've found that adding just a little vanilla flavor gives it a slightly more sophisticated taste.

I've been eating strawberries prepared this way all my life. Right now, the market strawberries are pretty good, but I always look forward to summer when we get the locally grown berries. This is the greatest over breakfast waffles, Belgian waffles with whipped cream (or a "slice" of vanilla ice cream). YUMMY!! Nothing beats this for ease of prep, and the taste....not to mention the nutritional value of strawberries. A piece of HEAVEN! Edit: Looks like I should have read other review first, but alas, great minds to think alike!

Such a fab alternative to the horrible fake syrup from the store for shortcakes.I got this recipe from my sister-in-law, the only difference is we stir and stir it and use it immediatly. I bet its great both ways.I will not ever buy store bought strawberry syrup or topping again!

These indeed are amazing. My fasmily has made them this way ever since I can remember. Try baker's sugar (not powdered sugar) instead of granulated sugar, and your berries will be ready in half the time. This works well with other berries too. Sweet, simple, and delicious, Mother Nature at her very best!
