4 cups Jersey Fresh strawberries, blueberries or peaches
½ cup sugar
1 cup water
Cooking Instructions
Place prepared fruit in a large bowl. Make a simple syrup by boiling together: one cup of water with ½ cup of sugar. Boil for 5 minutes. This is equivalent to a light syrup found in canned fruits.* Set aside and allow to cool well. Add syrup to fresh fruit, refrigerate for at least 4 hours. This allows the fruit to release its natural juices into the syrup.
(* If you like your fruit sweeter, use 1 cup of water to 1 cup sugar for heavier syrup.
