strawberry preserve

The strawberry season is so short lived that it is difficult to make dishes year round. A friend Aparna has this amazing way of preserving them to keep year long. and best part is it is very simple..
all you need is

strawberries ( washed and chopped)
sugar (roughly 1/4 the weight of the chopped fruit.)

Heat up a thick bottm pan and warm strawberries. sprinkle the sugar over it .
what is most important is that the sugar just needs a gentle boil. so don't over cook or stir.
the moment the sugar bubbles and forms syrup remove from heat . the cut fruit shud remain intact.
let it cool and store in an air tight container in freezer. whenever needed scoop out a little and use.
