A delightful homemade strawberry preserve with a chunky texture and a hint of citrus.
Chop the strawberries into small pieces, about 1 cm in size.
Use a sharp knife to make chopping easier and more precise.
Place the chopped strawberries in a pot and heat over medium heat, stirring occasionally.
Stirring helps to prevent the strawberries from sticking to the pot.
Add the sugar and the juice of the lemon to the pot, stirring to combine.
Taste the mixture and adjust the sugar if needed.
Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce the heat and simmer for 15 minutes, stirring occasionally.
Keep an eye on the pot to avoid overcooking or burning.
Pour the hot preserve into a clean jar and let it cool uncovered for about 30 minutes.
Ensure the jar is sterilized to extend the shelf life of the preserve.
