Summer and strawberries is linked together. In Denmark we grow up with strawberries with whipping cream on as a dessert. A simple dish that any dane knows. If you have a garden full of strawberries, there are often so many strawberries at the same time that you simply can not eat them. Then it’s good to know the recipe for strawberry juice that can be stored for later or just for drinking when it’s hot.

Strawberry juice

Much better than any juice you can buy. Highly addictive. Can also be seasoned with frozen strawberries in the winter.

Ingredients

yields about 1½ liter/quarts

2 kg strawberries
1 kg sugar
1 whole lemon, juice of

Directions

Remove the stem from the strawberries. Rinse them.

Mash the strawberries slightly or cut them into pieces with a knife. That makes it easier to cook the liquids out of them. They should not be too much mushy though. That will make the juice cloudy.

Cook them gently for 10-15 minutes. They cook very easily.

Start with the lid on until enough juice has been released and then remove the lid. Otherwise it WILL boil over.

Sieve off the juice and pour it back into the pan. Add sugar and lemon and bring it to a simmer.
