 Instructions:
Halve or quarter the strawberries if they are large.  Tip into a large saucepan with the lemon zest and 4 tablespoons of water.
Heat very gently, stirring often with a wooden spoon, for 3-4 minutes until the strawberries begin to break down and release their juice.

Continue to cook gently for another 10-15 minutes to give a thick, pulpy consistency.  Remove from the heat and allow to cool.Remove the lemon zest.  Add sweetener, according to taste.  Serve with 2 tablespoons of yoghurt per portion, decorated with strawberry leaves or mint leaves.  Alternatively, refrigerate and use as required.View Source
