I put about 8 strawberries in a pan with about 1/4 cup water and let it boil a couple of minutes. then poured into the blender and pureed. I strained it with a tea strainer back into the pan (to make sure there were no seeds) and added about 1/2 to 1 cup sugar. (sorry, I kind of made it up as I went along so the measurements are not exaact) I cooked it a couple more minutes and let it cool. You can use about 1/3 cup and fill it up with water for a strawberry drink, or add a little to the lemonade concentrate for a delicioou pink strawberry lemonade. I plan to try the same with other fruits too.
