Equipment

Ingredients
  

  • 2 cups strawberries fresh or frozen
  • ¼ cup granulated sugar
  • 1/2 lemon juice

Instructions
 

  • Place the strawberries, sugar, and lemon juice into a medium saucepan.
  • Cook over medium heat for about 5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the strawberries start to soften.
  • Lower the heat and let the mixture simmer for another 10 to 15 minutes, stirring now and then, until it thickens into a chunky consistency.
  • Take the pan off the heat and allow the mixture to cool completely.
  • Transfer to a blender or food processor and blend until smooth.
  • Pass it through a fine mesh strainer.
  • Pour the finished puree into a clean glass jar or airtight container and refrigerate until you’re ready to use it.

Notes

Chef Jenn's Tips

  • Use very ripe berries for the best flavor.
  • Frozen strawberries work great and are available year-round.
  • Straining gives you a smoother finish—ideal for sauces and drinks.
  • A splash of vanilla adds extra depth if you like.
