Ingredients

  • 1 (16-ounce) package strawberries, stems removed and halved (you should have about 2 cups)
  • 2 cups water

  • ¼ teaspoon salt
  • ½ cup fresh squeezed lime juice

Instructions

  • Add the strawberries, water, granulated sugar, and salt to a large saucepan over medium-high heat. Stir occasionally and allow the water to come to a boil.

  • Stir in the lime juice, transfer to a storage container, and refrigerate until ready to use.
