Shelf life – reduce or replace sugar

Because of its high sugar content, strawberry syrup can be kept for up to a year if you store it in a cool, dark place. The syrup in opened bottles should be stored in the refrigerator and consumed as soon as possible. Of course, you can reduce the amount of sugar in the recipe. In this case, however, the shelf life of the syrup will be shortened. You can also make strawberry syrup with honey and without sugar. Then you should not boil it a second time after adding honey.
