  1. Add the strawberries in their deliciously creamy sauce into a blender
  2. Puree until smooth
  3. When you blend the strawberries, you will introduce a lot of air into the mixture giving it a lighter color.
  4. The rich red color will return after the mixture sits for about 15-20 minutes.
  5. Cool and apply to Cheesecakes, Ice Cream, Strawberry shortcake, or anything else your heart desires.

ENJOY!
