Ingredients
- Fresh strawberries (2 cups, hulled)
- Sugar (optional, about 1–2 tablespoons, depending on how sweet your strawberries are)
- Lemon juice (1 teaspoon, for a little brightness)
That’s it! Simple, right?
Instructions
But, first, rinse your strawberries in cold water, and then hull them (that is, cut off the little green tops) with your knife or use a fancy huller if you’re feeling fancy.
Toss the strawberries into a blender or food processor. Add a squeeze of lemon juice for that zingy flavor, and if your strawberries aren’t super sweet, throw in a bit of sugar. Blend until smooth.
If you want a silky-smooth puree, pour the mixture through a fine mesh strainer or sieve to remove the seeds. This step is totally up to you—some people like a bit of texture.
Give it a taste. If it’s not sweet enough, add a little more sugar and blend again. If it’s too thick, a splash of water can help thin it out.
Pour your puree into an airtight container and store it in the fridge for up to 5 days. You can also freeze it in an ice cube tray for easy portioning later!
