Ingredients

• 1 package (16 ounces) frozen unsweetened strawberries, thawed
• 6 tablespoons lemon juice
• 1/4 cup sugar
• 2 tablespoons cider vinegar
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 1/8 teaspoon poppy seeds

Directions

Place the strawberries in a blender; cover and process until pureed. Add lemon juice and sugar; cover and process until blended. While processing, gradually add vinegar and oil in a steady stream; process until thickened. Stir in poppy seeds.

Transfer to a large bowl or jar; cover and store in the refrigerator. Yield: 2-1/2 cups.

Afterthoughts

• Less or no sugar. no additional sugar is fine.
• More vinegar; possibly balsamic in addition. tried 4 tablespoons with enough strawberries for our usual salvaged bottle. better, but not quite yet.
• add salt.
