- Place strawberries, sugar, lemon juice and salt into a small saucepan and bring to a simmer over medium heat.
- Once bubbling, reduce heat to low and let slowly reduce until berries begin to break up and liquid is almost gone.
- Occasionally stir the mixture to prevent burning.
- Transfer to another container and let cool before use. Makes about 1 1/2 to 2 cups.
