Step-by-Step Instructions
To start off, I first preheat my oven to 350°F (175°C) while I gather my ingredients. In a mixing bowl, I combine the chopped strawberries and half a cup of granulated sugar, letting them sit for about 15 minutes. This step not only enhances their natural sweetness but also allows the strawberries to release some of their juices, creating a lovely mixture of flavors. It smells like summer already!
