Strawberry Conserve Recipe

Strawberry Conserve Recipe :

I’m just going to go ahead and warn you that you’re going to be seeing strawberry recipes galore. I promise to do my best to keep it interesting. I saw the recipe for this little number in the latest issue of Bon Appetit and decided I needed to make it asap. Oh boy, am I glad I got on it! This strawberry conserve is like magic summer sauce. Since making it I’ve used it on waffles, in a strawberry fool, on a slice of bread and I even used the liquid in a beverage. I mean, come on, what’s not to love about that?

Not only can it be used in a million ways, but it takes very little effort. We’re talking strawberries, sugar and a lemon rind. Toss them in a pot and let the juices mingle for a couple hours—this involves no heat, so you can go about your day without worry. Then you’ll heat them on for a few minutes to get it a little more syrupy.

Then shazamm, you’ll have strawberry conserve and you can dream up all the ways you’ll use it. Now, what to do with the next pint of strawberries…
