- In a saucepan, combine the strawberries, sugar, lemon juice, and 2 tablespoons of water. Cook over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until the strawberries have completely broken down, about 10 minutes. Remove from heat and stir in the vanilla extract.
- Pour the mixture through a fine-mesh sieve into a bowl, gently pressing on the solids to release every drop of precious liquid. Allow it to cool completely before transferring to an airtight container and refrigerating for up to 4 days.
