1 | Remove the stalks from 500 g strawberries, cut into 4 and put into a bowl. | |
2 | Add 70 g caster sugar and mix rapidly. | |
3 | Cover the bowl with stretch film, making sure it seals well. | |
4 | Sit the bowl over a pan of water to form a bain-marie. Leave on low heat for 40 minutes. | |
5 | The plastic film will swell into a dome and collect condensation. If you want to see what's going on underneath, tap on it gently. | |
6 | After 40 minutes, take the bowl out of the bain-marie and leave to cool with the film still in place. When cold, remove the film. You will see the strawberry pieces have softened and are bathed in juice. | |
7 | Pour everything through a fine strainer sitting over a bowl and leave to drain. | |
8 | Collect the juice and pour into a jar with a lid that seals well. Refrigerate until needed. |
