Holiday Baking with Spiced Strawberry Syrup
Share
Looking for a way to make your holiday baking stand out this year? Our Spiced Strawberry Syrup adds a bright, fruity warmth to classic holiday treats that will have everyone asking for the recipe. Here are six festive bakes to try this season.
1. Spiced Strawberry Thumbprint Cookies
Make your favorite buttery thumbprint cookie dough and press a well in the center of each ball before baking. Once cooled, fill each well with a teaspoon of Spiced Strawberry Syrup — it sets into a glossy, jewel-like center that looks as beautiful as it tastes.
2. Strawberry Spice Loaf Cake
Add 3 tablespoons of Spiced Strawberry Syrup to a simple loaf cake batter for a moist, fragrant crumb with a rosy hue. Finish with a glaze made from powdered sugar and 2 tablespoons of syrup. Slice and serve with tea or coffee for a perfect holiday afternoon treat.
3. Spiced Strawberry Rugelach
Spread a thin layer of Spiced Strawberry Syrup over cream cheese pastry dough before rolling and cutting into crescents. The syrup caramelizes as it bakes, creating a sticky, fragrant filling that makes these holiday cookies truly unforgettable.
4. Strawberry Spice Cheesecake Bars
Swirl Spiced Strawberry Syrup through a classic cheesecake bar filling before baking for a marbled pink effect. Top with a drizzle of syrup once cooled. These bars are easy to make ahead, easy to transport, and always the first thing to disappear at a holiday party.
5. Spiced Strawberry Crepes
Fill thin crepes with whipped cream or mascarpone and fold into quarters. Warm Spiced Strawberry Syrup in a small pan and spoon over the top just before serving. Elegant, easy, and perfect for a holiday brunch spread.
6. Strawberry Spice Granola Gift Jars
Use Spiced Strawberry Syrup as the sweetener in a homemade granola with oats, almonds, dried cranberries, and coconut flakes. Bake until golden, cool completely, and layer into mason jars tied with a ribbon. A heartfelt, homemade holiday gift.
