Notes
8 oz of fresh strawberries will be about 1 ½ Cups chopped strawberries.
You can also use frozen strawberries for this recipe.
If you don't have an immersion blender, allow the mixture to cool, then pour it into a blender and blend until smooth. Do not blend the mixture when it's hot- it is dangerous to blend hot items.
I do not recommend using a food processor to blend.
