Ingredients
4
cups
strawberries
{hulled and sliced}
1/4
cup
sugar
Instructions
Wash berries, remove the green tops and cut into slices {quarters for smaller berries}.
4 cups strawberries
Add berries to a medium mixing bowl and sprinkle with sugar.
1/4 cup sugar
Stir gently and let them sit uncovered on the counter for at least 30 minutes or up to 2-3 hours, or covered in the fridge for up to 24 hours.
Notes
Honey can also be used but will not draw out as much juice as cane sugar.
Stir in a bit of lemon or lime zest for a "zippier" flavor.
Store the macerated strawberries in an air-tight container for up to four days in the fridge.
To freeze, place in ice cube trays, freezer bags, or small canning jars (4 and 8 oz are my favorites), and store for 3-6 months.
