If you’re using fresh strawberries, remove stems and leaves and wash it well. If you’re using frozen strawberries, allow them to thaw completely.
Cut the strawberries into halves or quarters if large so that it gets broken down easier during the cooking process.
Add the chopped strawberries into a saucepan along with the sugar and ¼ cup of water. Set the stove to medium low.
Let it cook for 15 minutes, stirring occasionally. If you're using xanthan gum or corn starch, add it now. Mash the strawberries using the back of a spoon to help it along.
Turn off the heat and let it cool to room temperature. Scoop out the strawberry puree to a blender* and add 1 teaspoon of fresh lemon juice. Add 1 more teaspoon if you like it tart.
Blend the strawberries until it’s completely pureed. Transfer the finished strawberry puree to an airtight jar. Use when needed.
