The natural sugars in this strawberry syrup are perfect for giving your cakes, pastries, or desserts a whole new dimension. Use it as a garnish or a sauce for plain cakes and gelatos, or instead of syrup on pancakes and French Toast. Ditch the soda and try stirring this into water to add flavor, or mix it into your cake or pancake batters and, of course, into your smoothies. It’s a healthier way to add a little sweetness to your life.
