Fresh Strawberries

Method

Preparation Steps

  1. 1

    Wash the Strawberries

    Rinse the fresh strawberries under cold running water to remove any dirt or pesticides.

  2. 2

    Remove the Stems

    Gently remove the green tops (calyx) of the strawberries using a knife or your fingers.

  3. 3

    Slice the Strawberries

    Cut the strawberries into halves or quarters depending on your preference.

  4. 4

    Mix with Sugar and Lemon Juice

    In a medium bowl, combine the sliced strawberries, granulated sugar, and lemon juice. Stir gently to coat the strawberries.

  5. 5

    Let it Sit

    Allow the mixture to sit for about 10-15 minutes to let the strawberries release their juices and create a syrup.
