How to Make Strawberry Lemonade Concentrate
- Combine strawberries, sugar, and water in a large saucepan over medium heat.
- Bring the mixture to a boil, stirring constantly until the sugar dissolves completely.
- Reduce heat to low and simmer for 15 minutes, stirring occasionally, until strawberries are softened and have released their juices.
- Remove from heat and let the mixture cool slightly.
- Strain the mixture through a fine-mesh sieve or cheesecloth into a large bowl, pressing on the solids to extract as much juice as possible.
- Discard the solids and stir in the lemon juice and zest.
- Taste and adjust sweetness as needed, adding more sugar if desired.
- Pour the concentrate into sterilized jars, leaving ½ inch headspace.
- Wipe the rims of the jars clean, seal with lids and rings, and process in a boiling water bath for 10 minutes.
- Remove jars from the canner and let them cool completely. You should hear a satisfying "pop" sound as the jars seal.
- Once cool, check seals by pressing down on the center of each lid. If the lid doesn't flex, it's sealed! Store in a cool, dark place.
