Instructions

Preheat the oven to 170 degrees F and line a baking sheet with a silicone baking mat.
Pureé the strawberries, lemon juice and maple syrup in a high-speed blender or food processor until smooth.
Add the strawberry pureé to a saucepan and cook on medium-high heat for about 10-15 minutes until the pureé begins to thicken.
Pour the strawberry pureé onto the baking sheet and spread evenly to coat the silicon mat. Try to spread the mixture as evenly as possible.
Bake for 3-4 hours, turning the pan halfway.
