Ingredients 

  • 2 cups fresh strawberries hulled and sliced (or frozen, thawed)
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 ½ cups water
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice optional, for brightness

Instructions

  • In a medium saucepan, combine the strawberries, sugar, and water. Bring to a gentle simmer over medium heat, stirring occasionally. Let cook for 8-10 minutes, or until the strawberries soften and release their juices.
  • Add in lemon juice if using and stir.
  • Remove from heat and strain the mixture through a fine-mesh sieve, pressing down to extract as much liquid as possible. (Save the leftover strawberry pulp for yogurt, toast, ice cream sundaes, or desserts!)
  • Let it cool before storing.
  • Transfer to a sealed jar or bottle and refrigerate for up to 1-2 weeks.

Notes

This recipe makes 1 pint
  • For an even smoother texture, blend the mixture with an immersion blender or regular blender.
