ingredients

2 (10 ounce) packages frozen, sliced strawberries with sugar, thawed
2 cups sugar
¹⁄₂ cup lemon juice
1 cup water

directions

Combine the strawberries, their liquid, sugar, lemon juice and 1 cup water in an enamel or stainless steel saucepan.
Stir and bring to a simmer over medium low heat.
Simmer for about 40 minutes, stirring often.
The liquid should resemble a thin syrup.
Line a sieve with 2 layers of cheese cloth and strain the syrup, gently pressing on the strawberries-discard the pulp or serve as a jam.
You should end up with 2 1/4 cups syrup.
Pour syrup into a sterile jar, cool and cover.
To serve combine 1/4 cup of syrup with 1/2 cup water or sparkling water and 3 or 4 ice cubes.
Will keep 3 or 4 days on the counter.
