Korean Strawberry Syrup

You can use almost any fruit 1:1 with sugar, and it makes a phenomenal syrup. I have apple, strawberry, kiwi, pear, plum, pineapple, and peach in my refrigerator right now.

Edit: Holy crap. OK, commonly asked questions.

The things I made with it: candy, soda, mixed drinks, kettle corn. I would have tried more but I haven't made any more since then.

No, I don't still have all that in my refrigerator. It lasted a single night of making mixed drinks and sodas with a bunch of friends. Accept apple, I had apple for a while.

No, I don't have diabetes.

I had the apple flavor in my refrigerator for like 4 months, and it didn't go bad.

Yes, you can use just about any fruit you like. I think banana wouldn't work out too well, but any watery fruit that you can get juice from will work.

No, it's not a lot of sugar, considering you use it similar to mixers and bitters

1:1 is a ratio. 1 pound : 1 pound. 1 cup : 1 cup. 3586 grams : 3586 grams. A number : the exact same number. Weigh your fruit. Whatever that number is, weigh out the exact same amount of sugar.

Grenadine people: Use pomegranates. Grenadine is pomegranate flavored.

This Korean Syrup is called “Cheong” and is pretty flexible and can be made to make syrup out of any fruit or vegetable that has some water content. Johnny Kyungho has some reels about making more Cheongs and it’s a pretty cool looking food :)

Edit: Never insinuated that this was only found in Korean Cuisine. I just wanted to geek out about a Korean recipe I knew partially because this method of preservation is exactly like in Korean methods; Correct me if I'm wrong but I don't know of other syrup methods which rely on fermenting the syrup in a jar with layering of sugar the way Korea does.

This is what my grandma exactly does she also does it with raspberrys which she grows by herself and the syrup is so good. sparkiling water and the syrup is like the best drink ever plus it is natural.

“Honey? Where’s all the strawberries I ordered yesterday?”

Just watching this is enough to send a diabetic patient to eternal sleep 😂😂

I made this and my mom loves this! If you keep the sugar and strawberries in an air tight jar in the fridge it can last up to 8 months!

Fun fact: Shirley temples are made with a grenadine syrup, which is from the French word "grenade" which means pomegranate in English! 😊

My mom always did this. She used a lot less sugar and we only let it sit overnight. Then a few years ago a chef taught me to add some Amaretto….so delicious. Never thought to make a syrup. Cant wait to try this.

Nice! I used the 🍓 to make strawberry leather laced with melted chocolate.😊 Thanks for sharing.

You have to let it sit much longer. Like a month. And if you want it to ferment, you need to put a cheese cloth or leave the top barely open and stir about every one/two days to prevent mold. I made a fermented blueberry cheong and it was one of the most amazing things I’ve ever tasted.

Edit: some people don’t think that cheong can ferment. You will start to see bubbles both in the berries/fruit and in the syrup, and an alcohol/yeasty like smell. You have to make sure you use a clean utensil to stir it. You can’t just leave wide open air flow with the top sitting kinda open. You have to make a very small opening with the top/cheesecloth or just burp the container. You could also put one of those tops on the container like the ones home brewers use.

Respect to nick for looking up at nothing irl for a solid 15 seconds, really makes the video more engaging 😅🤣

My family makes this all the time. We usually use it for strawberry shortcake. It tasted a lot less chemically than what they usually use, and as someone who loves strawberries it’s SO DELICIOUS!! We eat the strawberries too, they turn a bit soft and sweet, yet still tasting like strawberries.
And it only takes about 24 hours, though the more you leave it in the better it gets!

He made one mistake though, Shirley temples are not made with strawberry syrup they're made with grenadine which is red so a lot of people like myself assume that it is either cherry or strawberry, however I somewhat recently found out that it is actually pomegranate flavored

How long is it ok to keep in the fridge? Like how long is it good for?

I’ve been doing this for years to make homemade strawberry milk and it’s amazingggg

Sugar covered strawberries was a afternoon snack my granny use to mak us when we were kids she would make a big bowl of sliced strawberries and sprinkle Sugar on them and let them sit over night or half the day sometime if she let them sit over night we would have them for a pancake topping the next day ❤ it was one of my most favorite treats she made us fly high granny ❤

Its strawberry simple syrup.

You can do this with pretty much any fruit. Also squeeze lemons, limes, oranges and boom can start making cocktails.

A regular simple syrup recipe is just a 1:1 ratio of sugar and water cook for 10 mins or until the sugar is completely dissolved. I recommend demerara sugar for a Old Fashioned because of the extra molasses
