Ingredients

  • 2 cups fresh or frozen strawberries hulled
  • 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice balances sweetness
  • 1 –2 tablespoons sweetener sugar, honey, or agave syrup
  • 2 –3 tablespoons water optional, for consistency

Instructions

Prep the strawberries.

  • Remove stems and hull each berry.
  • If berries are large, quarter them for even blending.

Combine in blender.

  • Add strawberries, lemon juice, and sweetener to a blender or food processor.
  • Add a splash of water if berries look very dry.

Blend until smooth.

  • Pulse on low speed, then increase to high.
  • Stop and scrape down the sides to ensure even pureeing.

Strain seeds (optional).

  • Pour the mixture through a fine-mesh sieve into a bowl.
  • Use the back of a spoon or spatula to press puree through the sieve.
  • Discard seeds left behind.

Adjust consistency.

  • If the puree is too thick, stir in a little water until you reach desired smoothness.
  • If it’s too thin, return to the blender and add more berries or reduce by simmering briefly in a saucepan.

Store or serve.

  • Transfer puree to an airtight container.
  • Keep in the refrigerator for up to 5 days.
  • Freeze in ice cube trays for easy portions of ice cubes.
