Strawberry Preserve

Last year, I was buying strawberries almost every day, and cooked an amazing lot of dishes, but once the season got over, it all got over. So this time, I decided to make some strawberry preserve, so I could continue to indulge in strawberries just a little bit longer.


1 pound strawberries
2/3 cup water
1/3 cup sugar

Method
Add the sugar to the water and bring to a boil.
Meanwhile, cut the strawberries in half, and crush some of them slightly.
When the water starts boiling, reduce the flame and add the strawberries.
Cook on a low flame, till the syrup starts to thicken. A scum forms after the strawberries are added- keep removing them (I used it to make milkshake).
Take off the flame, and pour into sterilized bottles.
