Description
Simple as in straightforward and easy as pie.
Ingredients
Units
Scale
- 2 lbs ( 32 ounces) strawberries, washed and hulled
- 1/2 C granulated sugar
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 375°F and place an oven rack right in the middle of the oven. If you have any super large berries, cut those in half. The smaller ones can stay whole.
- Place the berries in an oven-safe dish with a 2-3 quart capacity and spread them out so the top layer is pretty even in height. Sprinkle the granulated sugar evenly over the top of all the berries.
- Transfer the berries to the oven and allow to roast for 20 minutes.
- After twenty minutes have passed, pull the berries from the oven and use a spatula or wooden spoon to gently stir them. Place them back in the oven and continue roasting for 15-25 minutes more, until the berries have noticeably softened and are floating in a hearty amount of syrup. Don’t overcook or they’ll darken in color and fall apart.
- Allow the berries to rest on the counter until cooled to almost room temperature, then transfer the berries to airtight containers. If desired, pour the berries through a strainer first to separate them from the juice/syrup and store the berries and the syrup separately. These will keep in the fridge for up to two weeks.
