Ingredients

  • 200 g strawberries
  • maple syrup (if required)

Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. Hull the strawberries then cut them into small chunks and then add them to a pan and heat on high for 3 minutes.
  2. Using a potato masher or a fork, mash the strawberries until they turn a jam (jelly) consistency.
  3. Cook on low for 5 minutes and then transfer to a bowl to cool. It will have some liquid in the bowl, but it will set after it has been left to cool. Strain through a fine mesh sieve if you don't want the seeds.

  • You can use frozen strawberries, but make sure they are fully defrosted first.
  • You could blend other fruits in to this like peach or raspberries.
  • You can add honey (not for babies) or maple syrup if you want it sweeter.
  • If you don't like the strawberry seeds, then pour it through a fine mesh sieve.
  • You can mix some chia seeds into this for a protein boost.
  • You can freeze this puree in an ice cube tray and the store the cubes in a freezer bag.
