Ingredients
Instructions
  1. Thoroughly clean strawberries. Using a knife, hull the strawberries by removing the stems. Slice strawberries length-wise from top to bottom in 1/4″ in width and place in a large bowl.
  2. Zest a lemon and sprinkle over the strawberries. Slice the lemon in half and remove the seeds. Squeeze each half over the strawberries so that the lemon juice coats the strawberries.
  3. Add the sugar over the strawberries. Sprinkle the chopped mint over the strawberries.
  4. Mix the strawberry mixture so that the sugar dissolves and the mint and zest are evenly distributed throughout the coated strawberries.
  5. Let the coated strawberries sit for 10 minutes so that the strawberries macerate.
