Equipment

  • Large Pot
  • wooden spoon

Ingredients
  

  • 8 cups frozen strawberries hulled
  • 1 cup sugar
  • 1½ tbsp lemon juice
  • 1 tsp lemon zest

Instructions
 

Cook the Frozen Strawberries

  • Place the frozen strawberries directly into a medium saucepan. Add the sugar and lemon juice to the pan.

Cook the Sauce

  • Cook over medium heat, stirring occasionally. The strawberries will release their juices as they thaw and start to break down. Once the strawberries have thawed and softened, continue cooking as the sauce begins to bubble.

Simmer

  • Reduce the heat to low and let the sauce simmer for about 10-15 minutes, stirring occasionally until the sauce thickens.

Optional - Blend for a Smooth Sauce

  • If you prefer a smooth sauce, you can blend the mixture using an immersion blender or a regular blender.If you blend the sauce, return it to the pan and cook for another 2-3 minutes if you want it thicker.

Cool and Serve

  • Let the finished sauce cool slightly before serving. It will thicken more as it cools.
