    Homemade Strawberry Syrup Recipe on 5DollarDinners.com

    Breakfast for dinner…always popular and always fun!

    If you ask any of my older boys what their favorite meals are, “brinner” would be in the top 5 for each of them. And this strawberry syrup…so so so so tasty. So fresh, so sweet, so perfect.

    I make this syrup with fresh strawberries, maple syrup, sugar and some cornstarch to thicken it up a bit. (You could use all sugar, but I like to divide up the sweetness with a more natural sweetener like maple syrup, to go with the sugar.) We prefer the sweetness from half sugar-half maple.

    One of my boys’ favorite things about waffles is to get syrup into each of the little holes/pockets/wells. While I didn’t show this in the photo above, each boy had a touch of red, strawberry sweetness in each of their waffle holes!

    Dinner (or breakfast or ‘brinner’) perfection!
