Ingredients
Scale
- 500g (1.1lb) fresh or frozen strawberries
- 100g (1/2 cup) granulated sugar

Instructions
- Remove the green leafy tops from the strawberries and roughly chop them.
- In a medium saucepan over low heat, combine the chopped strawberries, sugar, lemon juice, and salt.
- Cook while stirring regularly until the mixture simmers and juices are released.
- Increase heat slightly and let simmer for about 15 minutes, stirring often to break down the berries with a potato masher for desired smoothness.
