Farmer’s Market Strawberry Preserves

If you came home from the farmer’s market with a big tub of strawberries that you couldn’t possibly eat quick enough before going bad, a batch of preserves is just the ticket. You can use preserves for more than just your morning toast – trying putting them into this indulgent Strawberry Cream Cake.

Here’s all you need:

• 2 pounds of strawberries
• 3-4 cups of sugar or sugar substitute
• Lemon juice from 1 lemon

Place all of the ingredients into a large pot. Muddle with a large potato masher until the strawberries are in small pieces. Place the pot on the stove and cook on high heat. When it starts to bubble, reduce heat to medium and cook approximately 40-50 minutes until the liquid has significantly reduced. 

Spoon your preserves into jars or other containers. If you’ll be using right away, place in the refrigerator. If you’ll be storing them, you can process them.
