Ingredients

  • 4.5 cups strawberries halved
  • 0.8 cup sugar 

Equipment

  • baking sheet
  • sauce pan

  • sieve
  • blender

Directions

  1. Purée strawberries with sugar in a blender until smooth, then strain through a fine-mesh sieve into a large heavy saucepan.

  4. Pour hot purée onto liner and spread thinly (as evenly as possible) into a 15- by 10-inch rectangle using spatula. Dry purée in oven until it feels drier (it shouldn't stick to your fingers) but is still slightly tacky, 2 to 3 hours.
