Notes
Sugar Substitutes
An equal amount of honey, maple syrup, brown sugar, or coconut sugar could be substituted for the granulated sugar.
Other add-ins for macerated strawberries:
Balsamic vinegar: Add 1-2 Tablespoons balsamic vinegar with the berries and sugar. Balsamic macerated strawberries taste amazing over vanilla ice cream.
Lemon juice: 1 teaspoon fresh or bottled lemon juice adds a bright flavor to the berries.
You can freeze these in the freezer for up to 12 months.
