Ingredients
Quantities are shown as originally provided.
- 2 lbs strawberries (, washed and hulled (32 ounces))
- 1/2 C granulated sugar
Instructions
- 1
Preheat your oven to 375°F and place an oven rack right in the middle of the oven. If you have any super large berries, cut those in half. The smaller ones can stay whole.
- 2
Place the berries in an oven-safe dish with a 2-3 quart capacity and spread them out so the top layer is pretty even in height. Sprinkle the granulated sugar evenly over the top of all the berries.
- 3
Transfer the berries to the oven and allow to roast for 20 minutes.

After twenty minutes have passed, pull the berries from the oven and use a spatula or wooden spoon to gently stir them. Place them back in the oven and continue roasting for 15-25 minutes more, until the berries have noticeably softened and are floating in a hearty amount of syrup. Don't overcook or they'll darken in color and fall apart.

Allow the berries to rest on the counter until cooled to almost room temperature, then transfer the berries to airtight containers. If desired, pour the berries through a strainer first to separate them from the juice/syrup and store the berries and the syrup separately. These will keep in the fridge for up to two weeks.
