Instruction

  • Place strawberries in a food processor and pulse until just coarsely chopped, or chop them roughly with a knife.
  • Place in a medium saucepan and add sugar and any flavoring you'd like.
  • Cover and cook over medium heat until sugar melts and berries soften and release some of their liquid, 4 to 5 minutes, stirring occasionally.
  • Uncover, lower heat, and simmer until the berries begin to fall apart and the mixture is thickened and no longer watery, 12 to 15 minutes.
  • Serve warm, or cool to room temperature.
  • Refrigerate in an airtight container for up to 2 weeks.
  • Discard any flavoring ingredients before serving or storing if you wish, or just leave them in for an added boost of flavor.
