Ingredients
  

  • 1 cup white sugar
  • 1 cup filtered water
  • 2 cups of strawberries
  • 1 cup of kiwis

Instructions
 

  • Wash your strawberries thoroughly and slice them in half for quicker cooking. Peel your kiwis and chop them into rough chunks.
  • In a medium saucepan over medium heat, combine the white sugar, filtered water, sliced strawberries, and diced kiwis.
  • Stir occasionally as the mixture begins to heat up, making sure the sugar dissolves completely.
  • Simmer gently for about 20 minutes, allowing the strawberries and kiwis to break down and infuse the syrup with flavor and color.
  • Remove the pan from heat and let the mixture cool to room temperature.
  • Strain the syrup through a fine mesh strainer into a clean container, pressing the fruit gently to extract as much liquid as possible.
  • Store your finished syrup in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to three weeks.
