In a medium saucepan combine ingredients. Smash strawberries and turn heat to medium. Bring to a boil, reduce to simmer for 10 minutes without a cover.
Remove from heat. Use a stick blender, or carefully transfer to a blender. Blend until smooth.
Set a fine-mesh sieve over a canning jar and strain the syrup to remove the seeds. You can skip this step if you prefer seeds in your syrup.
Enjoy warm on pancakes.
