Ingredients

  • 1 pint fresh strawberries thinly sliced

Instructions

  • Wash and dry your fresh strawberries.

  • Place the sliced strawberries in a bowl and mash them with a potato masher 3/4 of the way until they appear juicy. You still want to leave some chunks of strawberries though.
  • Add a sprinkle of sugar (1 tsp or less), and stir.
  • Cover the bowl of strawberries and refrigerate for at least a few hours (or overnight) before serving.
  • Store in the refrigerator for up to a week.
    Serve as a delicious topping for breakfast recipes and desserts all summer long!
