Strawberries With Lime Ginger Syrup Recipes

STRAWBERRY, GINGER AND MINT SEKANJABIN

Steps:

• Bring the sugar and water to a boil over high heat. Boil until the sugar has dissolved, then stir in the strawberries, mint, ginger, lemon peels, and lemon juice. Return to a boil, then reduce heat to medium and simmer for 20 minutes. Remove from heat, and stir in the white balsamic vinegar.
• Allow the syrup to stand overnight at room temperature, then strain out the fruits with a fine sieve. Store at room temperature in a sterile container.
• To use, stir 1 part syrup into 4 to 6 parts water; serve cold with ice if desired.

STRAWBERRY-GINGER-MINT LEMONADE

STRAWBERRIES WITH LIME-GINGER SYRUP

Steps:

• Wash the strawberries, and hull them, and cut them in half if they are large.
• (Which they are not, right? See above.) Put them in the bowl from which they are to be served.
• Grate the zest from the lime, and put it in a small saucepan (or a small microwaveable bowl) with the honey, the lime juice, and the ginger.
• Heat the mixture, stirring constantly, and as soon as the honey is dissolved and the syrup is hot, pour it over the strawberries.
• Mix them gently.
• Chill them, and serve them cold.
• Cream is nice but by no means required.

STRAWBERRY SMASH

Steps:

• Muddle the quartered strawberries with the Ginger Syrup in a cocktail shaker. Add the bourbon and lime juice, fill the shaker with ice and shake well. Strain into a highball glass filled with ice. Top with a splash of soda, garnish with a mint sprig and whole strawberry and serve.
• Combine the ginger juice and sugar in a small saucepan and bring to a boil. Cook, stirring, until the sugar dissolves. Remove from the heat and let cool completely. Keep covered in the refrigerator up 2 weeks.

STRAWBERRIES IN SPICED SYRUP

Steps:

• In a saucepan, stir together the sugar and water. Bring to a boil, and cook for about 10 minutes, or until it becomes syrupy. Mix in the nutmeg and cinnamon, and remove from the heat. Stir in the vanilla. Allow to cool for a few minutes, then pour over sliced strawberries.

STRAWBERRIES WITH LIME & LONG PEPPER SYRUP

Steps:

• Using a vegetable peeler, pare the zest from 1 lime in long strips. Shave away any white pith from the back of the zest (this can make it bitter), then put the zest in a medium pan. Squeeze both of the limes and add the juice to the pan with 3 tbsp water, the sugar and the crushed and whole peppercorns. Heat gently until the sugar dissolves, boil, then take off the heat.
• Spread out the strawberries in a serving dish, then pour over the hot syrup and allow to cool. As this happens, the syrup will become rosy pink. Serve at room temperature with scoops of ice cream.

LIME AND GINGER SYRUP

Steps:

• In a large saucepan, combine the sugar with the water and ginger and bring to a boil, stirring until the sugar is dissolved. Simmer over low heat, stirring occasionally, for 15 minutes longer. Stir in the lime juice and simmer until syrupy, about 15 minutes. Strain the syrup into jars and let cool completely before storing.
• Make Ahead The syrup can be refrigerated for up to 1 month.
