3 - 5 Lemons to create:

3/4 Cup of Fresh Lemon Juice 

Rind of one lemon, peeled

 

 

In a medium saucepan, over medium heat, add 3 cups of water.

to make 3/4 cup of fresh lemon juice; set aside.

 

 

Add the lemon rind and sugar to your pot of water and bring it to a boil. 

Boil for two more minutes.

 

Add one cup of strawberries to the sugar mixture.

The strawberries will begin to turn soft.

Take a wooden spoon and smash the strawberries 

against the side of the pot to incorporate them into the sugar mixture.

Turn the heat down and simmer for two more minutes.

My husband is a fan of strawberry lemonade, 

which makes him a harsh critique, 

and I am happy to say this recipe passed his test and I quote,

"Mmmm, this is REALLY good!"

 

Top it off with a sliced strawberry 

and you will impress the thirsty masses of loved ones.
