STRAWBERRY PRESERVE

Ingredients

454g strawberries

225g caster sugar

Method

Prepare the strawberries by removing the stalk and halving any that are large.

Mix with the sugar in a bowl and place into a large glass jar, or two smaller ones, put the lid on.

Place the jar in a pan of boiling water and let cook until all the sugar has melted and the strawberries are soft.

The result are sweet tender strawberries in a rich syrup.

Eat the strawberries with ice cream.

The syrup will freeze to make strawberry granita, serve with the cooked fruit.
