My cake recipe calls for frozen strawberries in syrup which is no longer sold. I can only find with sugar. What a substitute syrup?

---

Ingredients:

* 2 cups (500g) strawberries, hulled and sliced

* 1/2 cup (100g) granulated sugar

* 2 tablespoons (30ml) water

* 1 tablespoon (15ml) lemon juice

Instructions:

1. In a medium saucepan, combine the strawberries, sugar, and water.

Bring to a boil over medium heat, stirring constantly.

2. Reduce heat to low and simmer for 5 minutes, or until the strawberries have softened and released their juices.

3. Remove from heat and stir in the lemon juice.

4. Let cool completely before using.

Tips:

- For a thicker syrup, simmer for a few minutes longer.

- For a smoother syrup, strain through a fine-mesh sieve before using.
