Strawberry Preserves - Quick and Delicious
Strawberry Preserves A little something sweet I've been asked several times to share my strawberry preserve recipe. I always get frustrated with having to scroll through pictures to get to the recipe - so here it is up front! Ingredients: 2 pounds of fresh or frozen strawberries (if using fresh wash and trim) 1 cup of sugar 1 large lemon (about 1.5 TBSP of lemon juice) Steps: Macerate the strawberries in sugar - overnight or for several days Pour all the strawberries into a nonreactive pot and scrape the sugar into the pot Add lemon juice Bring pot to a boil for 15-20 minutes - keep an eye on the pot, this will foam! Remove pot from heat Using an immersion blender pulse through the ingredients until your preferred smoothness Return pot to heat for 2 minutes
