STRAWBERRY CRUSH

Steps:

• Thoroughly wash the strawberries and dry them. Cut the tops off and depending on the size of the berries, either halve or quarter them.
• Place the chopped berries in a large bowl. Add the sugar and mix well. Cover and put the bowl in the fridge overnight.
• Next day take the bowl out of the fridge. Using a slotted spoon remove the strawberries out of the sugar syrup and place them in a food processor or blender. Blend into a smooth puree.
• Transfer the strawberry infused sugar syrup to a medium size saucepan. Add water and mix well. Put the pan on medium heat and bring the mixture to a boil. Lower the heat and simmer for 15 minutes. Stir in citric acid, mix well to incorporate. Turn off the heat and let the mixture cool completely, about 45 minutes ~1 hour.
• Once the sugar syrup is completely cool, add the strawberry puree and mix well to combine. Strawberry crush is now ready to use.
• Pour the crush into clean glass or plastic jars and store in the refrigerator.
