1.Place the thawed strawberries, sugar and ½ cup (125ml) water in a small saucepan over medium heat. Cook, stirring occasionally, for 5-7 minutes, until softened. Transfer to a heatproof blender (if not using a heatproof blender, cool to room temperature before blending). With the steam cap on, whiz until smooth. Strain through a fine sieve into a measuring jug and discard pulp.
