- 2 tbsp fresh lemon juice - approx. 30 ml
Instructions
- Place the whole fresh or frozen strawberries in a medium saucepan with the white granulated sugar and fresh lemon juice.

Notes
Storage: Up to 1 week in the fridge, up to 3 months in the freezer.
To make a sauce: Cut the strawberries into pieces before cooking them in a saucepan for about 10 minutes, then blend in a blender and strain if necessary.
To thicken: Add a teaspoon of cornstarch to the saucepan to thicken the texture, or cook longer on a low heat to evaporate the liquid and thicken the texture.
Natural sugar: You can replace white powdered sugar with maple syrup, honey, wholegrain sugar or agave syrup.
