Strawberry Puree Recipe
Ingredients
- 500g fresh strawberries
- ½ cup brown granulated sugar
- 1-2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
- ½ cup of water (optional)
Directions
- Choose the better and fresh strawberries for your puree. As better ones produce better results. If fresh strawberries are not available in the season, then you can use the frozen ones as well.
- Remove the strawberry leaves and any softer parts apart.
- Wash all the strawberries well and then strain them.
- Now, roughly chop all these strawberries.
- If you prefer chunkier style in the strawberry puree as I do, then pour these chopped strawberries in the blender and blend them slightly for a second in the blender. If you want to add some water for blending then add it as well.
- Soon the strawberries turn into mush. After that, transfer them into a saucepan. With this, add some brown granulated sugar and freshly squeezed lemon juice.
- Let it simmer for 5 minutes over medium flame. This reduces the water content of strawberries. Now, turn it to low flame. When bubbling over the puree is gone and clear, the thick strawberry puree is formed. Then turn off the flame.
- Let it cool down and then shift it to the desired container for storage purposes.
- You can store it for a maximum of 10 days in the refrigerator and for a month or so in the freezer.
