Roasted Strawberry Lemonade Recipe

Ingredients

  • 1 pint fresh strawberries washed, hulled, and sliced
  • 1/2 cup sugar for strawberries
  • 1 3/4 cups of sugar for lemonade
  • 1 1/2 cups fresh squeezed lemon juice
  • 8 cups of water

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 375. Toss the sliced strawberries in sugar and place them in an ovenproof glass baking dish in one even layer. Roast them for about 10 minutes and then remove and allow to cool.
  2. In a small saucepan, combine 1 3/4 cups of sugar and 1 cup of water. Bring to a boil and stir to dissolve sugar. Allow to cool to room temperature, then cover and refrigerate until chilled.
  3. While your strawberries are roasting, juice enough lemons to make 1 1/2 cups of juice (approximately 6 large lemons.)
  4. Place cooled strawberries in a blender and puree until smooth.
  5. Combine pureed strawberries, lemon juice, sugar water, and remaining 8 cups of water in your pitcher and stir. Add ice or serve over ice for a nice chill.
