    1 1/2 cups strawberries, 1 1/2 cups frozen cherries, 1/2 cup sugar, 1 teaspoon vanilla, 1/2 lemon zest
  • Place the mixture in a blender and zap it until it’s as smooth as your blender will make it. Strain and chill.
  • Spoon just a small amount over shaved ice and thin with a bit of water if you like. This would also be pretty good over ice cream.

Notes

  • I used fresh strawberries since they're in season, but frozen strawberries work well too.
  • For a tangier syrup, try using tart cherries instead.
