Ingredients

2 pints - strawberries
1 - lemon
¼ cup - honey or agave nectar

Instructions

Begin by washing, stemming, and halving the strawberries.
Place the strawberries, lemon juice, and honey (or agave nectar) in a saucepan or pot and bring mixture to a boil over medium heat.
Reduce heat to low and simmer uncovered for 50-60 minutes, stirring occasionally until most of the liquid has evaporated (you want the preserves to have little chunks of strawberries).
Allow the preserves to cool before transferring them to a jar or container with a lid. Store in the refrigerator.
