Servings 6
Ingredients
- 1 pound fresh strawberries hulled and quartered
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 1 Tbsp water
Instructions
- Add the strawberries, sugar, and water to a small saucepan. Note: you can use frozen strawberries if you don’t have fresh ones.
- Cook over medium heat for 6–8 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the strawberries soften and release their juices.
- Remove from the heat and let cool slightly. Transfer the mixture to a blender and blend until smooth. Just a few pulses gets the job done.
- Optional: For an ultra-smooth puree, strain through a fine mesh sieve if desired. Chill completely before using.
Notes
- The puree will thicken slightly as it cools.
- Add more sugar if your strawberries are tart or out of season.
- Store in the refrigerator for up to 1 week.
