Ingredients

  • 12 oz. Strawberries frozen or fresh
  • 2 teaspoon Lemon Juice

Instructions

  • Place the frozen or fresh strawberries in a saucepan. On medium heat, start cooking the strawberries while pressing gently to break them down with a spatula.
    12 oz. Strawberries
  • Bring the strawberries to a boil on the stove until the strawberries have fully broken down and the juices have started to reduce. Remove from the heat and strain through a fine-mesh sieve, getting rid of the excess pulp and seeds. Finally, stir in lemon juice and allow the sauce to cool.
    2 teaspoon Lemon Juice

Notes

Storage Instructions
  • Homemade strawberry purée will last in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to a week, or in the freezer for up to 3 months. 
  • I suggest storing it in a squeeze bottle for easy measuring, pouring, or decorating. If you freeze it, consider using an ice cube tray so you can pull out only what you need when you need it.
