Ingredients

  • 2 pint fresh strawberries, or frozen strawberries thawed

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.
