Strawberry Topping

Ingredients

  • 5 cups sliced, hulled Strawberries
  • 2 cups mashed, hulled Strawberries
  • 4 cups sugar
  • 1 package Sure-Jell fruit pectin
  • 1/2 cup water minus 1 tablespoon
  • 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
  • 1/4 cup Triple Sec
  • Airtight freezer bags

Instructions


Put 1 cup sliced Strawberries in each of the 5 airtight freezer bags. Set aside.


In a medium bowl, combine the 2 cups mashed Strawberries with 4 cups sugar, stirring well. Set aside.


In a small saucepan, whisk together the water, lemon juice and Triple Sec. While whisking, sprinkle in the whole package of Sure-Jell fruit pectin. Heat until it comes to a full rolling boil. Immediately add it to the bowl of mashed Strawberries and sugar, stirring to combine well. Most, hopefully all, of the sugar will dissolve.


Divide the Strawberry sauce between the 5 bags of sliced Strawberries. Stir each bag gently to combine. Seal each bag, pressing to flatten and to remove air. Freeze flat and use within 6 months (if it lasts that long).
