We went on a lovely trip to a strawberry farm, learned a lot about strawberry farming, plucked some delicious, juicy strawberries after which I came back to my kitchen and made a delicious sweet treat with the fresh strawberries.

Below are details of the Strawberry Farm we visited.

Here is the Recipe

Strawberry Syrup
Ingredients
450g Fresh Strawberries
1/4 Cup Sugar
1 Tbsp Water
1 Tbsp Corn Starch

Instructions
Clean and prep the fresh strawberries
Cut the big pieces into halves
If you don't have fresh strawberries, you can use frozen
Add the strawberries, sugar, water and cornstarch to a pan and cook on medium heat for a few minutes
You will see the strawberries becoming soft and mixture becoming more liquid. That's what you want
After 2 minutes, remove from heat and puree the whole mixture using a blender. Be careful at this stage as you are dealing with a hot mixture
Place the pureed mixture back on medium heat and cook for another few minutes until it becomes thicker and a bit darker
Keep stirring often otherwise the base will get burnt
Strain the mixture and leave aside to cool
Once it's cool, its ready to be used in the cheesecake
It can get thicker as it cools further so add a little water if you want to make it more liquid.
