Cut the strawberries into halves or quarters, depending on the size of your berries. You will want to make sure that the berries are all roughly the same size.

Add berries to a small saucepan with sugar and water. Heat over medium-high heat until simmering. Simmer for 8 to 10 minutes, until berries are softened and pale in color.

Remove from heat and strain out through a mesh sieve. Be sure not to press down on the berries so that the syrup isn't cloudy and doesn't get bits of fruit in it.

Cool completely before storing in an airtight container in the refrigerator. The syrup will last for up to 2 weeks in the refrigerator.
