Ingredients

2 pounds fresh strawberries ((make sure they are firm, ripe and free of blemishes))
1½ tablespoons lemon juice
¼ cup sugar
3-4 medium jars ((washed and dried, with tight fitting lids))

Steps

1
Wash the jars in hot soapy water, rinse well and dry.
2
If the strawberries are already quite clean, then place them in a colander and rinse them under cold water, place them (single layer) on a dry clean tea towel and gently dry. Then hull and slice or chop depending on your preference.
3
If the strawberries are not very clean (eg. just picked or it just rained and they have some dirt on them) then fill a large bowl with cool water, add the strawberries and move them around until they are clean. Remove the strawberries and place them (single layer) on a dry clean tea towel and gently dry. Then hull and slice or chop depending on your preference.
4
Place the sliced or chopped strawberries in a large bowl, sprinkle with lemon juice and sugar. Gently toss together. Spoon into the clean jars, leaving approximately one inch ¾ inch / 2 cm free space between the strawberries and the top. Then place jars in the freezer. Will keep up to a year. Enjoy!
