Strawberry Lemonade

Another summertime recipe made from our strawberries!

Ingredients
1 cups water
1 cups sugar
2 cups strawberries trimmed and halved
2 cups lemon juice (about 6 lemons)


Directions
 Simple Syrup - Combine sugar and water in a sauce pan over medium heat.  Bring to a boil and stir until sugar is dissolved.  Let cool completely. 

Puree' strawberries until smooth in food processor.  You can push juice through a fine sieve to catch the seeds but we don't mind them so I did not do this.

Pour lemon juice, strawberry puree, 1/2 cup simple syrup and water into a pitcher.  Add more simple syrup if you want a little more sweetness.  Add ice cubes.  Chill until ready to drink.
