Preparation
Baking Directions:
1.Wash the berries in a colander and let them drain.
2.Hull (cut the leafy tops off) the berries and quarter them with a paring knife.
3.Combine the berries and sugar in a large bowl and toss well with a rubber spatula for about 30 seconds, or until the berries are thoroughly coated with the sugar.
4.Refrigerate the berries for 4 to 12 hours — the longer the better.
5.Strain the liquid and reserve for another use.
(It tastes terrific in fresh-squeezed lemonade.)
6.Use the berries right away or transfer the berries to an airtight container.
Label, date, and store in the refrigerator for up to 5 days.
