Strawberry Lemonade Recipe

Here is the recipe for the Strawberry Lemonade that I made last Saturday:

6 cups whole and hulled strawberries
4 cups lemon juice (If you were amazing, you could squeeze your own lemons. Otherwise, just buy the 32 oz. bottles of lemon juice at the store)
6 cups granulated sugar

In a blender, puree strawberries until smooth. Transfer strawberries to a large stainless steel saucepan as completed. Add lemon juice and sugar and stir to combine. Heat to 190 degrees over medium/high heat, stirring occassionally. Do not boil. Remove from heat and skim off foam.

Ladle hot concentrate into pint jars leaving 1/2 inch headspace. Wipe rim and screw on lids.

Place jars in canner and process for 35 minutes.

Makes approximately 7 pint jars.

To reconstitute, mix one part concentrate with 2-3 parts water. Adjust according to taste.

Could you do this process and put it in the freezer instead of cooking it?

I have no idea Rose. Sorry, I'm not too brainy when it comes to canning. I'll bet you could....
