Directions
- Step 1
Put all the ingredients into a medium pot with a lid and bring the mixture to the boil. Once boiling, continue to let it bubble with the lid on for 10 minutes.
- Step 2
Strain the strawberries using a fine mesh sieve and press to release all of the liquid.
- Step 3
Put this liquid back into the pot and bring it back to the boil, this time with the lid off. Allow it to cook for 5 to 10 more minutes, until it starts forming a syrupy consistency.
- Step 4
Allow it to cool completely -- it will thicken even further -- and then pour it into sterilized bottles or jars. Keep it for up to 1 week in the refrigerator.
