How long does homemade strawberry puree last?

When stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator, your homemade puree will stay fresh for about 5 to 7 days. For longer storage, you can freeze it in a freezer-safe container or ice cube trays for up to 3 months.

Can you make this strawberry puree recipe with frozen strawberries?

Absolutely! Frozen strawberries are a fantastic and convenient option, especially when fresh berries aren't in season. You may not need to add any water when using the stovetop method, as they release plenty of liquid as they thaw and cook.

Is strawberry puree the same as strawberry sauce or syrup?

They are very similar, but with slight differences in texture. A puree is simply blended fruit. A sauce is often a cooked puree, like our stovetop version. A syrup is typically thinner, smoother, and contains more sugar. You can easily adjust this recipe to your desired consistency.

How do you make strawberry puree without a blender?

You can easily make a wonderful, rustic puree without a blender using the stovetop method. Once the berries have cooked down and become very soft, use a potato masher or the back of a fork to mash them against the side of the pot until you reach a consistency you like.
