Step by Step Method
Step 1
Clean and crush or chop strawberries with a potato masher. Do not use a food processor!
Step 2
Add sugar, Splenda, orange juice, and lemon juice. Stir about 30 seconds making certain that all is thoroughly mixed. Let this mixture sit for 10 minutes.
Step 3
In small saucepan whisk powder pectin into water; bring to a boil, stirring constantly, and boil while stirring for a full minute. The texture when ready will be similar to a thick white sauce.
Step 4
Pour pectin into a large bowl. Stir in strawberry mixture, and continue stirring for at least 3 minutes.
