Time 15m

Yield 1 1/4 cups (approx)

Number Of Ingredients 5

1 lb fresh ripe strawberry, trimmed and halved (use only red ripe berries)

red food coloring (optional)

Steps:

  • In a bowl mash the strawberries using a potato masher or fork.
  • In a large skillet stir together the mashed berries, sugar, pectin and lemon juice (starting with 2/3 cup sugar and adding in more desired I found that 2/3 cup plenty for me!) boil until slightly thickened about 5 minutes, add in a couple drops of red food colouring if needed.
