Ingredients
2 pounds fresh strawberries - washed and sliced
1/2 cup sugar
2/3 cup water
2 tbsp lemon juice
2 tablespoon corn starch
Instructions
1. In a medium sauce pan, combine water, strawberries, sugar, and lemon juice. Cook on high heat, stirring consistently until mixture comes to a boil.
2. After the mixture begins to boil, reduce heat to low, and allow mixture to simmer for 8-10 minutes, stirring occasionally. Remove from heat.
3. Using a Pyrex bowl and mesh strainer, pour strawberries into strainer. With a wooden spoon, press berries to extract as much juice as possible. Dispose of remaining berry solids.

4. Mix cornstarch into cooled berry juice, then add to pan of simmering berry juice.
5. Increase heat to high, and continue whisking mixture for 3-5 minutes until mixture thickens.
