Ingredients
  

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

Instructions
 

  • Add the strawberries, granulated sugar, and lemon juice to a medium-sized saucepan.
  • Cook over medium heat for about five minutes, stirring occasionally, until the strawberries begin to soften.
  • Reduce the heat to low and simmer for ten to fifteen minutes, stirring occasionally, until the mixture thickens into a chunky puree.
  • Remove from the heat and let the mixture cool completely.
  • Transfer the cooled mixture to a blender or food processor and blend until smooth.
  • Strain through a fine mesh sieve if you prefer a smoother texture without seeds.
  • Store the finished puree in a clean glass jar with a lid and refrigerate until ready to use.
